description: Superconducting quantum processors have made significant progress in size and computing potential. As a result, the practical cryogenic limitations of operating large numbers of superconducting qubits are becoming a bottleneck for further scaling. Due to the low thermal conductivity and the dense optical multiplexing capacity of telecommunications fiber, converting qubit signal processing to the optical domain using microwave-to-optics transduction would significantly relax the strain on cryogenic space and thermal budgets. Here, we demonstrate optical readout through an optical fiber of a superconducting transmon qubit connected via a coaxial cable to a fully integrated piezo-optomechanical transducer. Using a demolition readout technique, we achieve a single shot readout fidelity of 81%. Due to the small footprint (<0.15mm$^2$) and the modular fiber-based architecture, this device platform has the potential to scale towards use with thousands of qubits. Our results illustrate the potential of piezo-optomechanical transduction for low-dissipation operation of large quantum processors.

description: We present and investigate two issues within the measurement scheme for QFT presented by J. Polo-Gómez, L. J. Garay and E. Martín-Martínez in "A detector-based measurement theory for quantum field theory". We point out some discrepancies that arise when the measurement scheme is applied to contextual field states and show that $n$-point function assignments based on local processing regions sometimes lead to inconsistencies. To solve these issues, we modify the measurement scheme to use non-relativistic detectors to induce an update rule for algebraic states in the Haag-Kastler formulation of quantum field theory. In this way, $n$-point functions can be consistently evaluated across any region having a definite causal relation with measurements.

description: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a commonly-employed technique for characterizing functional materials. In particular, x-ray absorption near edge spectra (XANES) encodes local coordination and electronic information and machine learning approaches to extract this information is of significant interest. To date, most ML approaches for XANES have primarily focused on using the raw spectral intensities as input, overlooking the potential benefits of incorporating spectral transformations and dimensionality reduction techniques into ML predictions. In this work, we focused on systematically comparing the impact of different featurization methods on the performance of ML models for XAS analysis. We evaluated the classification and regression capabilities of these models on computed datasets and validated their performance on previously unseen experimental datasets. Our analysis revealed an intriguing discovery: the cumulative distribution function (CDF) feature achieves both high prediction accuracy and exceptional transferability. This remarkably robust performance can be attributed to its tolerance to horizontal shifts in spectra, which is crucial when validating models using experimental data. While this work exclusively focuses on XANES analysis, we anticipate that the methodology presented here will hold promise as a versatile asset to the broader spectroscopy community.

This is used as the basis for a numerical asset-liability management (ALM) model capable of calculating future discretionary benefits in accordance with Solvency~II regulation. This ALM model is complimented with aggregated life insurance data to perform a realistic numerical study. This yields numerical evidence for heuristic assumptions which allow to derive estimators of lower and upper bounds for future discretionary benefits. These estimators are applied to publicly available life insurance data.

Subjects: webinar

description: n the last couple of decades, growing attention was drawn to proteins having an entangled topology in their native ensemble. Their folding events are characterized by topological frustration and kinetic traps which pose challenges in their study. Nevertheless, some folding features can be inferred by simple topological descriptors. Baiesi and colleagues [1] introduced a linking number-inspired descriptor called Gaussian Entanglement. Remarkably, up to 32% of proteins domains have a topologically entangled motif, therefore it is valuable to understand how these structures keep under control the entanglement during folding. Using Molecular Dynamics to probe folding events of a test case protein having an entangled topology (the Type III Antifreeze Protein RD1), within a structure-based and Alpha-Carbon representation, we observed that native contacts related to the entanglement tend to form in the late stages of the folding. These results are in agreement with the hypothesis that the protein evolved to postpone the formation of the so-called “entangled contacts”. As for future outlooks, a large-scale analysis of these entangled structures [2] suggests a possible key role of cotranslation in facilitating the protein to find its native ensemble.

description: The beta2-adrenergic receptor (B2AR) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors, one of the major drug targets. G protein-coupled receptors are integral membrane proteins that convert external signals into intracellular responses. Two already known drugs employed in the treatment of several respiratory diseases are salmeterol and salbutamol. They show a high affinity to B2AR, however, their binding pathways have not yet been fully characterized. Along this project we will shed light on the binding process by means of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations using the Martini 3.0 force field. This methodology enables us to study the binding pathway of both drugs in an unbiased way. First, we parametrized the new ligands and the target protein according to the Martini 3.0 model. The defined parameters were in good agreement with all-atom simulations and experimental properties. In addition, the analysis of the ligands’ behaviour within different membrane compositions provided fundamental details such as the high membrane affinity of salmeterol indicated by its longer residence time in the membrane compared to salbutamol. The placement of the ligands in their known binding site showed residence times expected for their high affinity to B2AR. Afterwards, a system composed of B2AR embedded in a membrane including multiple ligands in the water phase was simulated. Based on the binding events observed along the different simulation replicas, we will analyze the ligand hot spots on the B2AR surface as well as their binding pathways and affinities.

description: Causal weighted quantile treatment effects (WQTE) are a useful complement to standard causal contrasts that focus on the mean when interest lies at the tails of the counterfactual distribution. To-date, however, methods for estimation and inference regarding causal WQTEs have assumed complete data on all relevant factors. In most practical settings, however, data will be missing or incomplete data, particularly when the data are not collected for research purposes, as is the case for electronic health records and disease registries. Furthermore, such data sources may be particularly susceptible to the outcome data being missing-not-at-random (MNAR). In this paper, we consider the use of double-sampling, through which the otherwise missing data are ascertained on a sub-sample of study units, as a strategy to mitigate bias due to MNAR data in the estimation of causal WQTEs. With the additional data in-hand, we present identifying conditions that do not require assumptions regarding missingness in the original data. We then propose a novel inverse-probability weighted estimator and derive its asymptotic properties, both pointwise at specific quantiles and uniformly across a range of quantiles over some compact subset of (0,1), allowing the propensity score and double-sampling probabilities to be estimated. For practical inference, we develop a bootstrap method that can be used for both pointwise and uniform inference. A simulation study is conducted to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators. The proposed method is illustrated with data from an EHR-based study examining the relative effects of two bariatric surgery procedures on BMI loss at 3 years post-surgery.

BioExcel Student Webinar: How the Assignment of Protonation States in Distal Residues May Alter Protein-Ligand Binding in Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Creators: name: Rizzo, Helena Giramé
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: webinar

description: Molecular dynamics (MD) and enhanced sampling simulations are attractive methodologies for the study of biochemical processes due to their ability to describe the structural and dynamic behaviour of biomolecules at atomic resolution.[1] The starting point of these simulations is generally a crystal structure, which does not supply information on the hydrogen atoms and thus raises a challenge on the adequate selection of protonation states in titratable residues. Several methods and utilities have risen to resolve such ambiguity, yet they are far from infallible and therefore it is encouraged to manually revise the suggested states within the system’s region of interest.[2] Nonetheless, in this work we aim to put the spotlight outside that area of interest. The enzyme-inhibitor system trypsin-benzamidine[3] is utilized to evaluate how the protonation states ofHis57,a residue located over 13 Å away from the binding site, can critically influence the computational characterization of protein-ligand binding.Performing spontaneous MD simulations foreach of the three possible protonation states, the number of encountered binding events was observed very different between the two neutral forms and the protonated one of His57. Further assessment with dimensionality reduction techniques demonstrated that the benzamidine binding pathway is dependent on the selected protonation state. A Constant-pH MD approach was additionally carried out, which supplied a more complete picture by accounting for the full equilibrium of the three forms of His57. The present study raises attention to the assignment of protonation states in distal residues in MD simulations, as they can be essential for the proper computational modelling of protein-ligand binding.

We conjecture that $Λ_{\mathscr X}$ is Lagrangian. For the dual $G^\vee$-variety ${\mathscr X}^\vee$, we conjecture that that there is a bijection between the sets of irreducible components $\mathrm{Irr}Λ_{\mathscr X}$ and $\mathrm{Irr}Λ_{{\mathscr X}^\vee}$. We check this conjecture for all the hyperspherical equivariant slices, and for all the basic classical Lie superalgebras.

description: Indole compounds are important class of therapeutic molecules, which have excellent pharmaceutical applications. The objective of present research was to investigate the influence of biofield treatment on physical and thermal properties of indole. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treated group. The control and treated samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. XRD study demonstrated the increase in crystalline nature of treated indole as compared to control. Additionally, the treated indole showed increase in crystallite size by 2.53% as compared to control. DSC analysis of treated indole (54.45ºC) showed no significant change in melting temperature (Tm) in comparison with control sample (54.76ºC). A significant increase in latent heat of fusion (ΔH) by 30.86% was observed in treated indole with respect to control. Derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) of treated indole showed elevation in maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) 166.49ºC as compared to control (163.37ºC). This was due to increase in thermal stability of indole after biofield treatment. FT-IR analysis of treated indole showed increase in frequency of N-H stretching vibrational peak by 6 cm-1 as compared to control sample. UV spectroscopy analysis showed no alteration in absorption wavelength (λmax) of treated indole with respect to control. The present study showed that biofield has substantially affected the physical and thermal nature of indole.

description: Computational Convex Analysis (CCA) investigates the computation of operators used in the study of Convex Analysis. A CCA numerical library was created to allow researchers to visualize and analyze convex analysis problems through the use of various data structures in MATLAB. One of the most used operators in Convex Analysis is the Fenchel Conjugate. This thesis proposes a new data structure to compute the conjugate for piecewise linear-quadratic functions in linear time. We use entity objects to represent piecewise linear-quadratic functions. These objects contain information on the entity type, adjacent entities, function coordinates and values, subgradients and extreme points in both the primal and dual. These entities are stored in a PLQVG object as an array of entity objects with an accompanying matrix containing unique vertices of the function.

description: One of the most striking many-body phenomena in nature is the sudden change of macroscopic properties as the temperature or energy reaches a critical value. Such equilibrium transitions have been predicted and observed in two and three spatial dimensions, but have long been thought not to exist in one-dimensional (1D) systems. Fifty years ago, Dyson and Thouless pointed out that a phase transition in 1D can occur in the presence of long-range interactions, but an experimental realization has so far not been achieved due to the requirement to both prepare equilibrium states and realize sufficiently long-range interactions. Here we report on the first experimental demonstration of a finite-energy phase transition in 1D. We use the simple observation that finite-energy states can be prepared by time-evolving product initial states and letting them thermalize under the dynamics of a many-body Hamiltonian. By preparing initial states with different energies in a 1D trapped-ion quantum simulator, we study the finite-energy phase diagram of a long-range interacting quantum system. We observe a ferromagnetic equilibrium phase transition as well as a crossover from a low-energy polarized paramagnet to a high-energy unpolarized paramagnet in a system of up to $23$ spins, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. Our work demonstrates the ability of quantum simulators to realize and study previously inaccessible phases at finite energy density.

description: This document summarizes the actions performed and the conclusions obtained to define the user requirements and needs in relation to Energy Transition Plans and Energy Transition measures. The methodology followed to build this deliverable is based on a set of specific surveys addressed to several pilot site municipalities, combined with virtual meetings between the pilot site managers of the three pilot regions and the conducting partners. This deliverable includes summary of the responses of the surveys among the interested municipalities of the three different European regions chosen as pilots and the conducting partners (CIMNE, ICAEN and 3OCLOCK). The aim is to develop a proof of concept in determining the real needs of public authorities that can facilitate the deployment of energy transition projects. The three pilot regions are the island of Crete in Greece, the Zlín region in the Czech Republic and the province of Girona in Catalonia. However, the identification of needs from other municipalities, which gave support to this project, will also be taken under consideration if they have been surveyed. Since the number of municipalities belonging to the pilot site regions is large, a long-term survey strategy has been adopted and will extend beyond this deliverable. This deliverable synthesizes the conclusions of the first group of surveys and the remaining ones will be included in a specific section within the deliverable D.4.1. The ePLANET project is a Coordination and Support Action cofounded by the European Commission through Horizon 2020 program. This project aims to deploy a new clustering governance for energy transition based on a digital framework to share harmonized information, facilitating the adoption of coordinated energy transition actions by the European public sector.
 The development of ePLANET is justified to deploy Energy Transition (ET) in public sector, for which the following challenges are targeted: Improving coordination between local authorities and regional governments Enhancing decision-making process in deployment of ET projects Providing coherence and consistency to the energy transition measures (ETM) to be implemented Encouraging the digitalization of measures and plans Enabling an interoperable ecosystem of data and tools All these targeted objectives will give the needed support for the energy transition decision-making process and its practical implementation.
High-order accurate well-balanced energy stable finite difference schemes for multi-layer shallow water equations on fixed and adaptive moving meshes

description: This paper develops high-order well-balanced (WB) energy stable (ES) finite difference schemes for multi-layer (the number of layers $M\geqslant 2$) shallow water equations (SWEs) on both fixed and adaptive moving meshes, extending our previous works [20,51]. To obtain an energy inequality, the convexity of an energy function for an arbitrary $M$ is proved by finding recurrence relations of the leading principal minors or the quadratic forms of the Hessian matrix of the energy function with respect to the conservative variables, which is more involved than the single-layer case due to the coupling between the layers in the energy function. An important ingredient in developing high-order semi-discrete ES schemes is the construction of a two-point energy conservative (EC) numerical flux. In pursuit of the WB property, a sufficient condition for such EC fluxes is given with compatible discretizations of the source terms similar to the single-layer case. It can be decoupled into $M$ identities individually for each layer, making it convenient to construct a two-point EC flux for the multi-layer system. To suppress possible oscillations near discontinuities, WENO-based dissipation terms are added to the high-order WB EC fluxes, which gives semi-discrete high-order WB ES schemes. Fully-discrete schemes are obtained by employing high-order explicit SSP-RK methods and proved to preserve the lake at rest. The schemes are further extended to moving meshes based on a modified energy function for a reformulated system, relying on the techniques proposed in [51]. Numerical experiments are conducted for some two- and three-layer cases to validate the high-order accuracy, WB and ES properties, and high efficiency of the schemes, with a suitable amount of dissipation chosen by estimating the maximal wave speed due to the lack of an analytical expression for the eigenstructure of the multi-layer system.

title: A persuasive framework towards improving compliance to quality management system: the clues framework
Creators: name: Dankwa, Kwasi Danso
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: With the ever-changing regulations, rules, and standards due to the proliferation of technologies, systems and products, compliance has become a prevalent business and organisation concern. As such, many organisations have put systems in place to ensure that they comply with requirements of regulatory needs and ensure they stay competitive in the global market. Although many have been successful with compliance needs, there have been reported non-compliances in many organisations. The reasons for the non�compliances have been shown to be multifactorial, ranging from ineffective documentation, equipment failures, ambiguous requirements from regulators and human factors. Current evidence shows that there are limited Systems that seek to understand the reasons behind the non-compliances, with most systems only managing compliance activities. Consequently, there is repeat of non-compliances as the systems fail to understand why people are not complying. To address this limitation, this study uses Design Science Research Approach to develop Compliance Assessment Model (CAM) and CLUES Persuasive Framework. The CAM model propose that by understanding intention of subjects to compliantly follow rules, regulations, and standards formulated into the Quality Management System (QMS), the reason behind the non-compliance can be assessed. The Compliance Assessment Model provides new theoretical approach in assessment of non-compliance in regulatory and non-regulatory organisations. It is suggested that CAM may be applicable during implementation of new systems by aiding in the user requirement assessment and further in assessment of compliance during use. The CLUES persuasive framework on the other hand, utilised the Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) to improve compliance based on the interventions derived from the framework. The study provided generic interventions that may be applicable in organisations to improve compliance. It also provided means for interventions to be adapted for specific organisations based on their needs. The CAM model and CLUES framework were evaluated and found to be effective to assess non-compliance and aid improvement of compliance.

description: The destruction of the Kondo effect in a local-moment metal can lead to a topological non-Fermi-liquid phase, dubbed fractionalized Fermi liquid, with spinon-type excitations and an emergent gauge field. We demonstrate that, if the latter displays an internal $π$-flux structure, a chiral heavy-fermion metal emerges near the Kondo-breakdown transition. Utilizing a parton mean-field theory describing the transition between a conventional heavy Fermi liquid and a U(1) fractionalized Fermi liquid, we find a novel intermediate phase near the transition whose emergent flux pattern spontaneously breaks both translation and time-reversal symmetries. This phase is an orbital antiferromagnet, and we derive a Landau-type theory which shows that such a phase generically emerges from a $π$-flux spin liquid. We discuss the relevance to pertinent experiments.

description: Resonant interactions associated with the emergence of a bound state constitute one of the cornerstones of modern many-body physics, ranging from Kondo physics, BEC-BCS crossover, to tunable interactions at Feshbach resonances in ultracold atoms or 2D semiconductors. Here we present a Feshbach perspective on the origin of strong pairing in Fermi-Hubbard type models. We perform a theoretical analysis of interactions between charge carriers in doped Mott insulators, modeled by a near-resonant two-channel scattering problem, and find strong evidence for Feshbach-type interactions in the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ channel that can support strong pairing, consistent with the established phenomenology of cuprates. Existing experimental and numerical results on hole-doped cuprates lead us to conjecture the existence of a light, long-lived, low-energy excited state of two holes with bipolaron character in these systems, which enables near-resonant interactions and can thus provide a microscopic foundation for theories of high-temperature superconductivity involving strong attraction, as assumed e.g. in BEC-BCS crossover scenarios. To put our theory to a direct test we suggest to use coincidence angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (cARPES), pair-tunneling measurements or less direct pump-probe experiments. The emergent Feshbach resonance we propose could also underlie superconductivity in other doped antiferromagnetic Mott insulators, as recently proposed for bilayer nickelates, highlighting its potential as a unifying strong-coupling pairing mechanism rooted in quantum magnetism.

description: This thesis is a short reflection on Hekate and her unique position as sometimes one of the most powerful (and other times, the most feared) goddess in the world. Her realms of influence were altered throughout the centuries and with the introduction of Christianism, her position and reception changed dramatically. Here, we shall discuss her origins, her domains, evidence of her presence across history and what that means for the Greek goddess of magic.

description: Digitalization is conquering and stressing out the federal administration. Using selected large-scale ICT projects, we show how complex and interdisciplinary the tasks are. The federal administration's IT strategy requires well-trained specialists for all defined fields of action. This scarce resource is increasingly being trained academically in separate, tailor-made degree courses that are developed specifically for the needs of the German ministries and authorities. We use the example of administrative informatics courses to explain their necessity and success story. Using a Bachelor's/Master's program developed by the authors for the ITZBund and the Federal Ministry of Finance, we look at a concrete implementation and justify two of our design decisions in the development of the course, namely transdisciplinarity and design thinking. We adopt a German perspective throughout the paper. However, the conclusions also apply to other countries.

title: Evaluation of C-Reactive Protein Point of Care Testing, and Associated Research Challenges, to Improve the Quality of Antibiotic Prescribing in the Community in Northern Thailand
Creators: name: Greer, Rachel Claire
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: Background

 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge, disproportionally affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Antibiotic use is a key driver of AMR, yet data on their use in LMICs, and in the community where most antibiotics are consumed, are comparatively scarce. C-reactive protein (CRP) is used in some high-income countries to guide antibiotic prescription for community respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Little evaluation has taken place in LMICs.

 Methods

 A two year retrospective review of antibiotic use in primary care units (PCUs) across a northern Thai district was conducted. A RCT was carried out in ten Thai and Myanmar primary care clinics evaluating CRP testing to optimise antibiotic use in patients with a history of fever. CRP testing was reviewed in a subgroup with sore throats to determine its ability to identify Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection.

 Results

 Few participants took antibiotics before attending PCUs. RTIs were the commonest infection presentation. Antibiotics appear to be overused in some self-limiting infections. Particularly high proportions were prescribed for sore throats, where the correlations between CRP levels and GAS were poor.

 In the trial context, CRP testing significantly reduced the proportion of antibiotics prescribed in Thailand and Myanmar, although a non-significant reduction was seen when Thai participants were considered separately. CRP testing improved antibiotic targeting with respect to high CRP levels. Clinical outcomes and health-seeking behaviour during the study period were unaffected. Most healthcare workers and participants supported CRP testing.

 Conclusions

 While not uncommon, antibiotic overuse in routine primary care in Thailand was of lower magnitude than anticipated. CRP testing is unlikely to contribute to further large scale reduction in antibiotic prescribing but could better target their use. Identifying who needs antibiotics for sore throats remains challenging. Antimicrobial stewardship interventions in PCUs could have a large impact on prescribing but need to be multi-faceted in nature.

description: В представленном исследовании рассматриваются клинико-функциональные особенности инфаркта миокарда (ИМ) у лиц молодого возраста (до 45 лет). Актуальность темы обусловлена ростом частоты сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний среди молодых, трудоспособных лиц. Цель работы — выявление факторов риска, характеристик клинической картины, инструментальных и ангиографических изменений у данной группы пациентов. Проведён ретроспективный анализ 21 случая ИМ. Наиболее значимыми предикторами заболевания выявлены артериальная гипертензия, дислипидемия, курение и стресс. Несмотря на отсутствие выраженного кардиологического анамнеза, у большинства больных выявлены тяжёлые функциональные нарушения. Полученные результаты подчёркивают необходимость разработки профилактических программ, направленных на раннюю диагностику и коррекцию факторов риска у молодёжи.

description: We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of kicked Ising models in $1+1$ dimensions which have interactions alternating between odd and even bonds in time. These models can be understood as quantum circuits tiling space-time with the generalized space-time dual properties of tri-unitarity (three "arrows of time") at the global level, and also second-level dual-unitarity at the local level, which constrains the behavior of pairs of local gates underlying the circuit under a space-time rotation. We identify a broad class of initial product states wherein the effect of the environment on a small subsystem can be exactly represented by influence matrices with simple Markovian structures, resulting in the subsystem's full dynamics being efficiently computable. We further find additional conditions under which the dynamics of entanglement can be solved for all times, yielding rich phenomenology ranging from linear growth at half the maximal speed allowed by locality, followed by saturation to maximum entropy (i.e., thermalization to infinite temperature); to entanglement growth with saturation to extensive but sub-maximal entropy. Intriguingly, for certain parameter regimes, we find a nonchaotic class of dynamics which is neither integrable nor Clifford, exemplified by nonzero operator entanglement growth but with a spectral form factor which exhibits large, apparently time-quasiperiodic revivals.

description: We present the quantum simulation of the frustrated quantum spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain with competing nearest-neighbor $(J_1)$ and next-nearest-neighbor $(J_2)$ exchange interactions in the real superconducting quantum computer with qubits ranging up to 100. In particular, we implement, for the first time, the Hamiltonian with the next-nearest neighbor exchange interaction in conjunction with the nearest neighbor interaction on IBM's superconducting quantum computer and carry out the time evolution of the spin chain by employing first-order Trotterization. Furthermore, our novel implementation of second-order Trotterization for the isotropic Heisenberg spin chain, involving only nearest-neighbor exchange interaction, enables precise measurement of the expectation values of staggered magnetization observable across a range of up to 100 qubits. Notably, in both cases, our approach results in a constant circuit depth in each Trotter step, independent of the initial number of qubits. Our demonstration of the accurate measurement of expectation values for the large-scale quantum system using superconducting quantum computers designates the quantum utility of these devices for investigating various properties of many-body quantum systems. This will be a stepping stone to achieving the quantum advantage over classical ones in simulating quantum systems before the fault tolerance quantum era.

description: An online survey conducted by Carleton and colleagues (2018a) from 2016-2017 revealed that 44% of public safety personnel (PSP) screened positive for clinically significant symptoms of mental health disorders. PSPs, including law enforcement officers, paramedics, and firefighters, are more likely to experience mental health concerns than the general population in Canada (Carleton et al., 2018a). When PSP do seek mental health support, they are most likely to seek support from their spouse or significant other (SSO) and less likely to seek professional support from their organization despite services being at their disposal (Carleton et al., 2020; Henry et al., 2023; O’Toole et al., 2022). This qualitative study, involving interviews with 12 SSOs of PSP, aims to explore SSOs’ experiences in providing support, appraisals of psychoeducation received, and suggestions for improvement. While a significant proportion (50%) of participants shared experiences of secondary traumatic stress, 83% (n =10) reported not having experienced formal psychoeducation/PFA training. SSOs perceived that PSP rely heavily on informal support systems, highlighting the need for targeted psychoeducation programs to enhance mental health outcomes for both PSPs and their SSOs. Administering proactive psychoeducation may help improve mental health outcomes among both PSPs and their SSOs while also benefiting PSP organizations by having a healthier workforce.
