parental experience

description: Objectives:: Much of the literature on diagnostic experiences of autism focuses on parental perspectives. Few studies have explored how health care professionals conceptualise parental experiences of the diagnostic process. The current study examines clinical perspectives of the diagnostic process with a focus on the perceived impact of assessment on families. Methods:: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 health care professionals from various National Health Service child and adolescent mental health services and general practices in the United Kingdom. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data were analysed using a thematic approach. Results:: Two main themes were identified: (1) stress and the autism spectrum disorder diagnostic process and (2) expectations of the diagnostic pathway. The main sources of stress perceived by the health care professionals related to diagnostic delay and ambiguity around the diagnostic process, with parents facing significant hurdles in understanding their child’s behaviour. Many health care professionals also reported a struggle to navigate differing expectations of the diagnostic process between parents and clinicians, as well as managing objectivity in the face of significant distress. Parent internalised stigma and guilt was a key component of the health care professional’s perception of sources of stress around the diagnostic process. Conclusion:: The vast majority of clinicians recognised the diagnostic pathway as a significant source of stress for parents, with many hurdles and battles to finalise the process.

description: Radio shows which invite audience participation via short message service (SMS)—interactive radio–SMS—can be designed as a mixed methods approach for applied social research during COVID-19 and other crises in low and middle income countries. In the aftermath of a cholera outbreak in Somalia, we illustrate how this method provides social insights that would have been missed if a purely qualitative or quantitative approach were used. We then examine the strengths and limitations associated with interactive radio–SMS through an evaluation using a multimethod comparison. Our research contributes an application of a mixed methods approach which addresses a specific challenge raised by COVID-19, namely utilizing media and digital technologies for social research in low and middle income countries.

description: By coupling a solar surface flux transport model with an extrapolation of the heliospheric field, we simulate the evolution of the Sun's open magnetic flux and the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) based on observational data of sunspot groups since 1976. The results are consistent with measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field near Earth and with the tilt angle of the HCS as derived from extrapolation of the observed solar surface field. This opens the possibility for an improved reconstruction of the Sun's open flux and the HCS into the past on the basis of empirical sunspot data.

description: The nature and scope of changes in organizations’ external environments is without precedent due to planetary shifts, or major changes in earth’s biophysical systems. Our theories of organizational adaptation lack the capacity to explain what will be needed on behalf of business organizations, and their strategists and managers, to adjust to these shifts. In this essay, we review organizational adaptation theory and explain why it falls short of offering adequate explanations in an era of planetary shifts. We then draw on ecological theories of adaptation, with their focus on social-ecological systems and panarchy, to suggest ways to advance organizational adaptation theory for our times.
From ethics to genetics in aquatic ecology : process is key

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Research with Indigenous Peoples is becoming more commonplace and encouraged across many fields, including the natural sciences. Yet, researchers and scientists do not always consider the ethical dimensions and implications of their work, which risks perpetuating the long histories and contemporary realities of unethical work on Indigenous Peoples in academia. In this thesis, ethical practices in partnered research with Indigenous Peoples are detailed in three studies at the intersection of aquatic ecology, Indigenous research methodologies, and community-based environmental research. Following an introductory chapter outlining the key motivations and intentions for this work, Chapter 2, “Experiences and insights on Bridging Knowledge Systems between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners: Learnings from the Laurentian Great Lakes,” details core themes, actionable recommendations, and key questions in the realm of bridging knowledge systems and engaging in co-learning processes with Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners. This work emerged from an interactive online conference session on these themes, centred in the Laurentian Great Lakes, and has served as a foundation informing the processes and practices described in subsequent thesis chapters. Chapter 3, “Ethical practices in co-creating aquatic ecological research with Indigenous Peoples: a case study with Lower Stál̕əw̓ First Nations,” engages oral research methodologies in its reflection of the ethical dimensions and practises of partnered university–community aquatic ecological research. It centres the co-creation of a biocultural approach to assessing freshwater health in the Lower Fraser region of British Columbia (BC), which culminated in the preparation of a manual to guide future university–community research in this area (see appendix). Finally, preceding key take-aways presented in the concluding chapter, Chapter 4, “Ethical approaches to eDNA research on Indigenous lands and waters,” provides a critical perspective on the considerable harms that can emerge from environmental DNA (eDNA) research that advances without consent or ethical oversight from Indigenous Peoples implicated in the work, and offers nuance around underlying complexities at hand when working with eDNA on Indigenous territories. Collectively, this thesis represents aquatic ecological research—from ethics to genetics—that has been undertaken by university and community partners highlighting the importance of process and protocol in the practice of scientific research.

description: We calculate the extragalactic diffuse emission originating from the up-scattering of cosmic microwave photons by energetic electrons and positrons produced in particle dark matter annihilation events at all redshifts and in all halos. We outline the observational constraints on this emission and we study its dependence on both the particle dark matter model (including the particle mass and its dominant annihilation final state) and on assumptions on structure formation and on the density profile of halos. We find that for low-mass dark matter models, data in the X-ray band provide the most stringent constraints, while the gamma-ray energy range probes models featuring large masses and pair-annihilation rates, and a hard spectrum for the injected electrons and positrons. Specifically, we point out that the all-redshift, all-halo inverse Compton emission from many dark matter models that might provide an explanation to the anomalous positron fraction measured by the Pamela payload severely overproduces the observed extragalactic gamma-ray background.

description: Excerpt from the report Preface: The Liberian Forest Survey was one of the projects of the United States Economic Mission to Liberia. This Mission, initiated by the Foreign Economic Administration in 1944 and continued after 1946 by the Department of State, had the following broad objectives: To make reconnaissance surveys of Liberia's resources. To make recommendations for the development of those resources, and To give technical aid and advice in the operation of projects to increase Liberia's production of agricultural and other commodities for internal use and to develop surpluses of such raw materials as rubber, cacao, timber, palm oil and fibers, iron ore, industrial diamonds, and cola nuts. The information here presented on Liberia's forests should serve as a guide for planning the development and utilization of this valuable resource.

description: Existing urban research has focused on gender differences in commuting patterns to and from homes, but has paid little attention to the gendered diversity in the spatiotemporal patterns of work. The increase in remote working and information and communications technology (ICT) work has been emphasised, but at the cost of exploring the full range of workplaces and multi-locational working observed in urban areas. This article develops a new classificatory system to analyse the spatiotemporal patterns of work in European cities using the 2015 6th European Working Conditions Survey. We identify 12 distinct spatiotemporal work patterns of full-time workers and investigate gender differences across these patterns against the backdrop of occupation, industrial sector, employment status, household composition and ICT use. Findings show that women are far more likely to be restricted to only working at the employer/business premises while men have more varied and complex spatiotemporal patterns of work. Multi-locational working rather than working at one workplace is a largely male phenomenon. Working exclusively at home is still a rarity, but combinations with employer premises and other workplaces are more common. We conclude that workplace research has been blinkered by narrow concerns of advances in mobile technologies and has been blind to the pervasive effects of spatiotemporal divisions in the working lives of men and women. The methodological and theoretical implications of this new perspective on workplaces for urban development and research are discussed.

description: The world is anxious today to know how Muslims would treat the Other. But ironically, at the height of the so-called information age, a straightforward answer is difficult to obtain. Does Islamic law accord inviolability to the Other? Does Islam grant equal rights to all human beings at the universal level, regardless of their religion, or only to the co-believers? The perception of the non-Muslim public is divided on this question. The Other expects Muslims to offer assurances of inviolability from the perspective of Islam. But why cannot they get it?
Global transient dynamics of three-dimensional hydrodynamical disturbances in a thin viscous accretion disk

description: Thin viscous Keplerian accretion disks are considered asymptotically stable, even though they can show significant dynamic activity on short timescales. In this paper the dynamics of non-axisymmetric hydrodynamical disturbances of disks are investigated analytically building upon the steady state three-dimensional structure and evolution of axisymmetric perturbations explored in previous work. Assuming a polytropic equation of state solutions are found by means of an asymptotic expansion in the small parameter measuring the ratio of the disk thickness to characteristic radius. In-depth analysis shows that every perturbation that disturbs the radial velocity induces significant transient growth in the (acoustic) energy of the evolving disturbance. This effect is most evident in the density and vertical velocity. The transient growth observed is tied to the non-separable nature of the solutions where, in particular, pattern evolution is controlled by a similarity variable composed of the radial coordinate and time. This leads to growing winding perturbations that display successive radial peaks and troughs. We argue that these transient non-axisymmetric structures may precipitate secondary instabilities which, consequently, may be a critical element for a new alternative picture of turbulence arousal in non-magnetized astrophysical disks.

description: Star clusters represent the most common 'mode' of star formation. They are found in all types of environments, cascading down from galaxy groups and merging pairs through starbursts to normal galaxies and dwarves and even isolated regions in extragalactic space. As they maintain a link to the overall star formation in a system, they can be used as tracers of the star formation history of environments located at distances prohibitive to the study of individual stars. This makes them ideally suited to the study of mergers and interactions in galaxy pairs and groups. In this work we present observations of the star cluster populations in the local starburst galaxy M82, post-interaction spiral NGC 6872, the "Antennae" merging pair and two compact groups, "Stephan's Quintet" and HCG 7. In each case, we extract information on the clusters and their hosts using mainly HST photometry and Gemini spectroscopy.

description: Funder: Cambridge Political Economy Trust
description: Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMPs), which form important components of employment support policies around the world, have been found to improve mental health and wellbeing of participants. However, it remains unclear how these health effects compare with the effects of different types of employment for men and women. Using 1991–2019 panel data in the UK, we find that unemployed women derive similar mental health benefits from ALMPs compared with employment. Unemployed men also benefit from ALMPs but obtain significantly more health benefits from formal employment. Such benefits are particularly pronounced in full-time, permanent and upper/middle-status jobs. Further analyses reveal that programmes that deliver human capital training have larger mental health benefits than employment assistance ALMPs. These findings provide a more nuanced understanding of the mental health impacts of ALMPs compared with different types of employment, and highlight the need for a more gender-sensitive design in labour market interventions.

description: Background: Specialist parenting intervention could improve coexistent parenting and child mental health difficulties of parents affected by severe personality difficulties. Objective: Conduct a feasibility trial of Helping Families Programme-Modified (HFP-M), a specialist parenting intervention. Design: Pragmatic, mixed-methods trial, 1:1 random allocation, assessing feasibility, intervention acceptability and outcome estimates. Settings: Two National Health Service health trusts and local authority children’s social care. Participants: Parents: (i) primary caregiver, (ii) 18 to 65 years, (iii) severe personality difficulties, (iv) proficient English and (v) capacity for consent. Child: (i) 3 to 11 years, (ii) living with index parent and (iii) significant emotional/behavioural difficulties. Intervention: HFP-M: 16-session home-based intervention using parenting and therapeutic engagement strategies. Usual care: standard care augmented by single psychoeducational parenting session. Outcomes: Primary feasibility outcome: participant retention rate. Secondary outcomes: (i) rates of recruitment, eligibility and data completion, and (ii) rates of intervention acceptance, completion and alliance (Working Alliance Inventory-Short Revised). Primary clinical outcome: child behaviour (Eyberg Child Behaviour Inventory). Secondary outcomes: child mental health (Concerns About My Child, Child Behaviour Checklist-Internalising Scale), parenting (Arnold-O’Leary Parenting Scale, Kansas Parental Satisfaction Scale) and parent mental health (Symptom-Checklist-27). Quantitative data were collected blind to allocation. Results: Findings broadly supported non-diagnostic selection criterion. Of 48 participants recruited, 32 completed post-intervention measures at mean 42 weeks later. Participant retention exceeded a priori rate (HFP-M=18; Usual care=14; 66.7%, 95% CI 51.6% to 79.6%). HFP-M was acceptable, with delivery longer than planned. Usual care had lower alliance rating. Child and parenting outcome effects detected across trial arms with potential HFP-M advantage (effect size range: 0.0 to 1.3). Conclusion: HFP-M is an acceptable and potentially effective specialist parenting intervention. A definitive trial is feasible, subject to consideration of recruitment and retention methods, intervention efficiency and comparator condition. Caution is required in interpretation of results due to reduced sample size. No serious adverse events reported. Trial registration number: ISRCTN14573230

description: Introduction: Hospitals are complex systems and optimising their function is critical to the provision of high quality, cost effective healthcare. Metrics of performance have to date focused on the performance of individual elements rather than the whole system. Manipulation of individual elements of a complex system without an integrative understanding of its function is undesirable and may lead to counterintuitive outcomes and a holistic metric of hospital function might help design more efficient services. Objectives: We aimed to use network analysis to characterise the structure of the system of perioperative care for emergency surgical admissions in our tertiary care hospital. Design: We constructed a weighted directional network representation of the emergency surgical services using patient location data from electronic health records. Setting: A single-centre tertiary care hospital in the UK. Participants: We selected data from the retrospective electronic health record data of all unplanned admissions with a surgical intervention during their stay during a 3.5-year period, which resulted in a set of 16 500 individual admissions. Methods: We then constructed and analysed the structure of this network using established methods from network science such as degree distribution, betweenness centrality and small-world characteristics. Results: The analysis showed the service to be a complex system with scale-free, small-world network properties. We also identified such potential hubs and bottlenecks in the system. Conclusions: Our holistic, system-wide description of a hospital service may provide tools to inform service improvement initiatives and gives us insights into the architecture of a complex system of care. The implications for the structure and resilience of the service is that while being robust in general, the system may be vulnerable to outages at specific key nodes.

description: Leaf venation is a pervasive example of a complex biological network, endowing leaves with a transport system and mechanical resilience. Transport networks optimized for efficiency have been shown to be trees, i.e. loopless. However, dicotyledon leaf venation has a large number of closed loops, which are functional and able to transport fluid in the event of damage to any vein, including the primary veins. Inspired by leaf venation, we study two possible reasons for the existence of a high density of loops in transport networks: resilience to damage and fluctuations in load. In the first case, we seek the optimal transport network in the presence of random damage by averaging over damage to each link. In the second case, we seek the network that optimizes transport when the load is sparsely distributed: at any given time most sinks are closed. We find that both criteria lead to the presence of loops in the optimum state.
What’s the harm? : perceptions and experiences of implicit and intentional bias
Creators: name: Bareket-Shavit, Carmelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: What does it feel like to be on the receiving end of a person’s implicit or intentional bias? There is an ongoing debate in academic and non-academic circles about the harm bias does. One view is that because implicit bias is perceived as less blameworthy (Daumeyer et al., 2019), it might also be experienced as less harmful. However, another view is that because impact is more critical than intention (Williams, 2020), implicit bias that has the same impact might hurt the same as (or even more than) intentional bias. Setting aside the question of whether implicit behavior is less wrong, I ask what is the experience of psychological harm of those with marginalized identities targeted by such behaviors? In a programmatic series of experiments, I ask whether implicit bias and intentional bias are experienced as similarly or differentially harmful. I use a theoretically derived approach to develop tightly controlled vignettes that manipulate two types of unbiased, two types of implicitly biased, and two types of intentionally biased behavior. I validate these scenarios for testing perceptions of stereotyping across five different social identity groups (Study 1, N = 205). I then ask whether vignettes of implicit and intentional gender bias are perceived as differentially harmful by women (Study 2, N = 302). Finally, I sought to replicate my findings by having people recall their experience of harm from lived experiences of implicit and intentional bias (Study 3, N = 138). Across these studies, both implicit and intentional bias (with equal impact) were more harmful than unbiased behavior (Study 2 - 3). When hypothetical instances of bias were intentional (vs. implicit), women anticipated more pain but similar levels of exclusion (Study 2). When recalling instances (controlling for impact), intentional bias was again experienced as more painful but similarly exclusionary as implicit bias (Study 3). Together, this research reveals that both forms of bias are perceived and experienced as harmful, but implicit bias was experienced as somewhat less painful than intentional bias. By understanding the consequences for the way bias unfolds, we may better mitigate the psychological harm from instances of bias.

description: Objective: Using combined positron emission tomography and CT (PET-CT), we measured aortic inflammation and calcification in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), and compared them with matched controls with atherosclerosis. Methods: We prospectively recruited 63 patients (mean age 76.1±6.8 years) with asymptomatic aneurysm disease (mean size 4.33±0.73 cm) and 19 age-and-sex-matched patients with confirmed atherosclerosis but no aneurysm. Inflammation and calcification were assessed using combined 18F-FDG PET-CT and quantified using tissue-to-background ratios (TBRs) and Agatston scores. Results: In patients with AAA, 18F-FDG uptake was higher within the aneurysm than in other regions of the aorta (mean TBRmax2.23±0.46 vs 2.12±0.46, p=0.02). Compared with atherosclerotic control subjects, both aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal aortae showed higher 18F-FDG accumulation (total aorta mean TBRmax2.16±0.51 vs 1.70±0.22, p=0.001; AAA mean TBRmax2.23±0.45 vs 1.68±0.21, p<0.0001). Aneurysms containing intraluminal thrombus demonstrated lower 18F-FDG uptake within their walls than those without (mean TBRmax2.14±0.43 vs 2.43±0.45, p=0.018), with thrombus itself showing low tracer uptake (mean TBRmax thrombus 1.30±0.48 vs aneurysm wall 2.23±0.46, p<0.0001). Calcification in the aneurysmal segment was higher than both non-aneurysmal segments in patients with aneurysm (Agatston 4918 (2901–8008) vs 1017 (139–2226), p<0.0001) and equivalent regions in control patients (442 (304-920) vs 166 (80-374) Agatston units per cm, p=0.0042). Conclusions: The entire aorta is more inflamed in patients with aneurysm than in those with atherosclerosis, perhaps suggesting a generalised inflammatory aortopathy in patients with aneurysm. Calcification was prominent within the aneurysmal sac, with the remainder of the aorta being relatively spared. The presence of intraluminal thrombus, itself metabolically relatively inert, was associated with lower levels of inflammation in the adjacent aneurysmal wall.

In order to study the radial dependence of the luminosity and mass function of M 10, we used ACS/HST deep high resolution archival images, reaching out to approximately the cluster's half-mass radius (rhm), combined with deep WFPC2 images that extend our radial coverage to more than 2 rhm. From our photometry, we derived a radial mass segregation profile and a global mass function that we compared with those of simulated clusters containing different energy sources (namely hard binaries and/or an IMBH) able to halt core collapse and to quench mass segregation. A set of direct N-body simulations of GCs, with and without an IMBH of mass 1% of the total cluster mass, comprising different initial mass functions (IMFs) and primordial binary fractions, was used to predict the observed mass segregation profile and mass function. The mass segregation profile of M 10 is not compatible with cluster models without either an IMBH or primordial binaries, as a source of energy appears to be moderately quenching mass segregation in the cluster. Unfortunately, the present observational uncertainty on the binary fraction in M10 does not allow us to confirm the presence of an IMBH in the cluster, since an IMBH, a dynamically non-negligible binary fraction (~ 5%), or both can equally well explain the radial dependence of the cluster mass function.

description: Introduction: Management of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents is challenging for patients, families and healthcare professionals. The objective of this study is to determine whether continued intensive metabolic control using hybrid closed-loop (CL) insulin delivery following diagnosis of T1D can preserve C-peptide secretion, a marker of residual beta-cell function, compared with standard multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. Methods and analysis: The study adopts an open-label, multicentre, randomised, parallel design, and aims to randomise 96 participants aged 10–16.9 years, recruited within 21 days of diagnosis with T1D. Following a baseline mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), participants will be randomised to receive 24 months treatment with conventional MDI therapy or with CL insulin delivery. A further 24-month optional extension phase will be offered to all participants to continue with the allocated treatment. The primary outcome is the between group difference in area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (AUC) of the MMTT at 12 months post diagnosis. Analyses will be conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. Key secondary outcomes are between group differences in time spent in target glucose range (3.9–10 mmol/L), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and time spent in hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/L) at 12 months. Secondary efficacy outcomes include between group differences in stimulated C-peptide AUC at 24 months, time spent in target glucose range, glucose variability, hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia as recorded by periodically applied masked continuous glucose monitoring devices, total, basal and bolus insulin dose, and change in body weight. Cognitive, emotional and behavioural characteristics of participants and parents will be evaluated, and a cost–utility analysis performed to support adoption of CL as a standard treatment modality following diagnosis of T1D. Ethics and dissemination: Ethics approval has been obtained from Cambridge East Research Ethics Committee. The results will be disseminated by peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

description: A modified Kuramoto model of synchronization in a finite discrete system of locally coupled oscillators is studied. The model consists of N oscillators with random natural frequencies arranged on a ring. It is shown analytically and numerically that finite-size systems may have many different synchronized stable solutions which are characterised by different values of the winding number. The lower bound for the critical coupling is given, as well as an algorithm for its exact calculation. It is shown that in general phase-locking does not lead to phase coherence in 1D.

title: Career Mentoring in Higher Education: Exploring Mentoring and Employability Gains Across Different Social Groups

description: Investing in undergraduate career mentoring in UK Higher Education (HE) requires evidence that it develops employability. This research evaluated the differences, if any, in the perceived short-term benefits (or otherwise) of career mentoring for mentees from different socioeconomic backgrounds who were participating in a mentoring scheme. The research explored what facilitates or inhibits the perceived success of career mentoring of the dyad by combining Social Reproduction and Selfefficacy as two opposing, but jointly elucidating, theories. Wraparound surveys of participants in an Institution’s year-long scheme, gathered perceived changes to six aspects of employability and multiple linear regression calculated whether socioeconomic status (SES) predicted any differences, with the model combining SES, gender and ethnicity. Semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively sampled mentors and mentees were thematically analysed to explore diverse influences. Results showed that tangible gains in labour market knowledge, work exposure and ease of professional interaction were comparable across social groups. However, low SES mentees gained more self-belief in their ability to gain graduate level employment, with SES explaining 11.5% of the difference, suggesting additional forces at play. Mean rank differences in career clarity gains were also statistically significant to the benefit of low SES mentees. Interviews suggested that SES influences mentoring in various ways. Similarity seems important in most but not all, highly successful relationships, by supporting identification which enables career identity refinement. This confirms that mentor-mentee similarity is not essential to increase self-efficacy. Interviews indicate that similarity is not necessarily based on demographics. Habitus seems to loosely constrain the degree of intended social mobility through partial identification, heightened by feelings of inauthenticity and unease. Social capital seems effective across social groups but may rely on shared interests in the reputation of the ‘alma mater’. A model of career mentoring in HE supports pragmatic generalisation for scheme organisers with policy and practice recommendations informed by an awareness that optimisation and mentoring conceptualisation requires a balanced focus across individual, interpersonal, institutional and societal influences.

description: Atomic layer graphene possesses wavelength-insensitive ultrafast saturable absorption, which can be exploited as a full-band mode locker. Taking advantage of the wide band saturable absorption of the graphene, we demonstrate experimentally that wide range (1570 nm - 1600nm) continuous wavelength tunable dissipative solitons could be formed in an erbium doped fiber laser mode locked with few layer graphene.

description: We have investigated theoretically and experimentally a method for preparing Dicke states in trapped atomic ions. We consider a linear chain of $N$ ion qubits that is prepared in a particular Fock state of motion, $|m>$. The $m$ phonons are removed by applying a laser pulse globally to the $N$ qubits, and converting the motional excitation to $m$ flipped spins. The global nature of this pulse ensures that the $m$ flipped spins are shared by all the target ions in a state that is a close approximation to the Dicke state $\D{N}{m}$. We calculate numerically the fidelity limits of the protocol and find small deviations from the ideal state for $m = 1$ and $m = 2$. We have demonstrated the basic features of this protocol by preparing the state $\D{2}{1}$ in two $^{25}$Mg$^+$ target ions trapped simultaneously with an $^{27}$Al$^+$ ancillary ion.
