title: The potential and limits of mental health service user involvement
Creators: name: Ferguson, Iain
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Mental health, mental health services, user involvement.

description: User involvement in the planning and management of health and social services has been a key social policy theme of the 1990s. For users of mental health services in particular, such involvement has often been seen as offering an opportunity both to reconstruct mental health services on the basis of users' wishes and more equal relationships with professionals, and also to challenge the stigma which surrounds mental ill-health and contributes to the social exclusion experienced by many users. Yet the apparent consensus that user involvement is a 'good thing' can obscure the different, and sometimes contradictory, agendas underpinning such involvement, while also minimising the obstacles to involvement. This thesis will attempt to assess the potential and limits of mental health service user involvement in terms of the challenge that different forms of involvement pose to dominant ideologies of mental ill-health, to the professional domination of services and to the stigma and oppression associated with mental ill-health. This will involve a critical evaluation of the major factors - economic, political, and ideological - which have driven such user involvement over the past ten years, as the basis for an exploration of the attitudes towards, and experience of, involvement by service users and workers in five focus groups and nine community-based mental health projects across central Scotland. A central concern of the thesis will be to critically engage with recent characterisations of the mental health users' movement as a 'new social movement'.

description: The intermediate valence compounds Yb2M3Ga9 (M = Rh, Ir) exhibit an anisotropic magnetic susceptibility. We report measurements of the temperature dependence of the 4f occupation number, nf(T), for Yb2M3Ga9 as well as the magnetic inelastic neutron scattering spectrum Smag at 12 and 300 K for Yb2Rh3Ga9. Both nf(T) and Smag were calculated for the Anderson impurity model with crystal field terms within an approach based on the non-crossing approximation. These results corroborate the importance of crystal field effects in these materials; they also suggest that Anderson lattice effects are important to the physics of Yb2M3Ga9.

description: One of the striking properties of quantum mechanics is the occurrence of the Bell-type non-locality. They are a fundamental feature of the theory that allows two parties that share an entangled quantum system to observe correlations stronger than possible in classical physics. In addition to their theoretical significance, non-local correlations have practical applications, such as device-independent randomness generation, providing private unpredictable numbers even when they are obtained using devices derived by an untrusted vendor. Thus, determining the quantity of certifiable randomness that can be produced using a specific set of non-local correlations is of significant interest. In this paper, we present an experimental realization of recent Bell-type operators designed to provide private random numbers that are secure against adversaries with quantum resources. We use semi-definite programming to provide lower bounds on the generated randomness in terms of both min-entropy and von Neumann entropy in a device-independent scenario. We compare experimental setups providing Bell violations close to the Tsirelson's bound with lower rates of events, with setups having slightly worse levels of violation but higher event rates. Our results demonstrate the first experiment that certifies close to two bits of randomness from binary measurements of two parties.

description: The formation of new lymphatic vessels, or lymphangiogenesis, is a natural process involved in tissue repair and in the resolution of inflammatory reactions. In some cancers, this process is exploited by the tumor to promote its growth and its metastatic dissemination. Our group recently identified a role for the CD73-adenosine pathway in tumor angiogenesis. As angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are similar processes, often occurring in parallel, we suspect that the CD73-adenosine pathway could have a role in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis during inflammatory reactions and in the tumor microenvironment. To confirm this hypothesis, we used in vivo models of inflammatory lymphangiogenesis induced by the administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) in the peritoneal cavity of mice. These two models of peritonitis trigger the formation of new lymphatics in the diaphragm that can be analyzed by flow cytometry. To study tumor lymphangiogenesis, we used a B16F10 melanoma model implanted in the mouse foot pad thereby allowing the analysis of tumor cell dissemination in the popliteal draining lymph node.

Using A2A-deficient mice, our results demonstrate that the A2A receptor is required for the proper formation of new lymphatic vessels following LPS and IFA administration. Using multicolor flow cytometry we were able to show that A2A-deficiency impairs both the formation of new lymphatic capillaries from pre-existing vessels and the transdifferentiation of pro-inflammatory myeloid cells into lymphatic endothelial cells. Furthermore, our results also indicate that CD73-derived adenosine has a minor involvement in this process as CD73-deficient mice only display a slight alteration in the recruitment of lymphatic endothelial cell in the LPS-peritonitis model. In the B16 melanoma model, host-A2A deficiency impaired tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis which resulted in a reduced number of tumor cells disseminating to the tumor-draining lymph node. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the A2A receptor promotes inflammatory and tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis.

description: Technological advancements have resulted in an exponential increase in the use of online social networks (OSNs) worldwide. While online social networks provide a great communication medium, they also increase the user's exposure to life-threatening situations such as suicide, eating disorder, cybercrime, compulsive behavior, anxiety, and depression. To tackle the issue of cyberbullying, most existing literature focuses on developing approaches to identifying factors and understanding the textual factors associated with cyberbullying. While most of these approaches have brought great success in cyberbullying research, data availability needed to develop model detection remains a challenge in the research space. This paper conducts a comprehensive literature review to provide an understanding of cyberbullying detection.

Redefining the Voice of Women Administrators
Creators: name: Tripses, Jenny
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Voice has multiple meanings. Voice is individual and unique, while at the same time requires another to listen and react. The journey towards an authentic voice requires courage and persistence (Issacs, 1999). Voice in feminist literature refers to a way of being that defines female development and encompasses women's value for connectedness (Gilligan, 1982). Voice is compared to vision, a leadership buzzword (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986; Helgesen, 1990). Voice differs from seeing (vision) which is a one-way process that can exist even if it is not communicated to others. Voice and listening, on the other hand, suggest dialogue and interaction (Helgesen, 1990, Issacs, 1999). This paper chronicles the dialogue of an organization of women administrators as they redefined their collective voice.

description: This report is an analysis of 127 accidents involving crash cushions in Kentucky. The primary data base was for the period 1980-82, with some additional data before and after this period. An attempt was made to document each accident with a police report, photographs, and a repair form. The largest number of accidents (63) involved a Hi-Dro cell cushion or cluster, followed by 33 accidents involving a G.R.E.A.T. crash cushion, 19 with a temporary G.R.E.A.T., 10 with sand barrels, and 2 with steel drums.  Average repair cost was lowest for the Hi-Dro cell cushion ($392) and highest for the Hi-Dro cell cluster ($2,839). Other repair costs were $1,886 for the G.R.E.A.T. system, $887 for sand barrel installations, and $1,760 for steel drum installations.  For those accidents in which performance was noted, crash cushions performed properly 85 percent of the time. Instances of improper performance generally involved either a vehicle rebounding into or across the adjacent roadway or a vehicle overturning. All of the various types performed well.  Results from the cost-effectiveness analysis show that crash cushion installations produce a benefit-cost ratio in the range of 1.0 – 2.0.

description: We consider a 3-dimensional lattice model of a network-forming fluid, which has been recently investigated by Girardi and coworkers by means of Monte Carlo simulations [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{126}, 064503 (2007)], with the aim of describing water anomalies. We develop an approximate semi-analytical calculation, based on a cluster-variation technique, which turns out to reproduce almost quantitatively different thermodynamic properties and phase transitions determined by the Monte Carlo method. Nevertheless, our calculation points out the existence of two different phases characterized by long-range orientational order, and of critical transitions between them and to a high-temperature orientationally-disordered phase. Also, the existence of such critical lines allows us to explain certain ``kinks'' in the isotherms and isobars determined by the Monte Carlo analysis. The picture of the phase diagram becomes much more complex and richer, though unfortunately less suitable to describe real water.

Heegner points and the class number of imaginary quadratic fields
Creators: name: Verones, Deanna Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Gauss' class number problem is that of finding an upper bound for |D| with given class number h(D) where D is a negative fundamental discriminant. A theorem of Goldfeld reduces the class number problem to finding an elliptic curve defined over Q with rank r > 3 which satisfies the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. A theorem of Gross and Zagier gives a method of predicting when a Heegner point yields rational point of infinite order on an elliptic curve. In some cases their theorem allows us to say for certain whether the derivative of the L-series of an elliptic curve vanishes. Applying their theorem to a particular elliptic curve with rank r = 3, Gross and Zagier were able to show that their curve satisfied the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, thus solving the class number problem. This thesis examines closely the theory of Heegner points including computational results varifying the Gross-Zagier theorem.
New Open Clusters Found by Manual Mining of Data in Gaia DR2

description: The physical nature of a series of 20 new open clusters is confirmed employing existing data on putative star members, mainly from second Gaia Data Release (DR2). The clusters were discovered as overdensities of stars by visual inspection of either photographic DSS plates or proper motion plots of random source fields. The reported objects are not present in the most comprehensive or recent catalogs of stellar clusters and associations. For all of them, clumps of comoving stars are revealed in the proper motion space. The parallaxes of the clumped stars are compatible with the real existence of open clusters over narrow ranges of distances. Surface density calculations, free of most noise from non-member sources, allow in some cases differentiating a cluster core and an extended cluster corona. Color-magnitude diagrams generally show a definite main sequence that allows the confirmation of the physical existence of the clusters and some of their characteristics. Two of the new clusters seem to form a double system with a common origin. Several of the new clusters challenge the claim of near completeness of the known OC population in the distance range from 1.0 to 1.8 kpc of the Sun (Kharchenko et al. 2013).

Outstanding Female Superintendents: Profiles in Leadership
Creators: name: Funk, Carol
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Suffrage efforts in the early 1900s boosted women into educational leadership roles. At this time, superintendents throughout the United States were selected through county elections (Blount,1999). Because many of these county districts had male superintendents who were corrupt and used dishonest financial and administrative practices, women were elected to replace many of the men who had previously held these positions. The victories of these female superintendent were sustained by honesty, credibility, and success in their roles, and by 1930, Blount noted that women held nearly 28% of the nation's superintendencies. In a move to "turn out the ladies," however, male superintendency groups began a national political effort to have school superintendents appointed instead of electing them. These powerful men did not want women to retain their elected positions as superintendents and argued that superintendents should not be elected in public elections that were so "politically charged." The voters did not see through this political ruse and agreed to the appointment of school superintendents instead of an elective process. Because the people who were set up to appoint the superintendents were all men, the women who previously held superintendent postitions began to decline; thereafter, males were appointed to nearly all of the superintendent positions across the nation. As a result, female superintendents all but disappeared in the United States after several decades of progress had been made.

description: The interactions of kaons (K) and antikaons ($\mathrm{\overline{K}}$) with few nucleons (N) were studied so far using kaonic atom data and measurements of kaon production and interaction yields in nuclei. Some details of the three-body KNN and $\mathrm{\overline{K}}$NN dynamics are still not well understood, mainly due to the overlap with multi-nucleon interactions in nuclei. An alternative method to probe the dynamics of three-body systems with kaons is to study the final state interaction within triplet of particles emitted in pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, which are free from effects due to the presence of bound nucleons. This Letter reports the first femtoscopic study of p$-$p$-$K$^+$ and p$-$p$-$K$^-$ correlations measured in high-multiplicity pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV by the ALICE Collaboration. The analysis shows that the measured p$-$p$-$K$^+$ and p$-$p$-$K$^-$ correlation functions can be interpreted in terms of pairwise interactions in the triplets, indicating that the dynamics of such systems is dominated by the two-body interactions without significant contributions from three-body effects or bound states.

The structural and scaling properties of nearby galaxy clusters - II. The M-T relation

Year: 2005

description: Using a sample of ten nearby (z< 0.15), relaxed galaxy clusters in the temperature range [2-9] keV, we have investigated the scaling relation between the mass at various density contrasts (delta=2500,1000,500,200) and the cluster temperature. The masses are derived from NFW-type model fits to mass profiles, obtained under the hydrostatic assumption using precise measurements, with XMM, at least down to delta=1000. The logarithmic slope of the M-T relation is well constrained and is the same at all delta, reflecting the self-similarity of the mass profiles. At delta=500, the slope of the relation for the sub-sample of hot clusters (kT>3.5 keV) is consistent with the standard self-similar expectation: alpha= 1.49\pm0.15. The relation steepens when the whole sample is considered: alpha=1.71\pm0.09. The normalisation of the relation is discrepant (by ~ 30%), at all density contrasts, with the prediction from purely gravitation based models. Models that take into account radiative cooling and galaxy feedback are generally in better agreement with our data. We argue that remaining discrepancies, in particular at low delta, are more likely due to problems with models of the ICM thermal structure rather than to an incorrect estimate of the mass from X-ray data.

description: The medical imaging community generates a wealth of datasets, many of which are openly accessible and annotated for specific diseases and tasks such as multi-organ or lesion segmentation. Current practices continue to limit model training and supervised pre-training to one or a few similar datasets, neglecting the synergistic potential of other available annotated data. We propose MultiTalent, a method that leverages multiple CT datasets with diverse and conflicting class definitions to train a single model for a comprehensive structure segmentation. Our results demonstrate improved segmentation performance compared to previous related approaches, systematically, also compared to single dataset training using state-of-the-art methods, especially for lesion segmentation and other challenging structures. We show that MultiTalent also represents a powerful foundation model that offers a superior pre-training for various segmentation tasks compared to commonly used supervised or unsupervised pre-training baselines. Our findings offer a new direction for the medical imaging community to effectively utilize the wealth of available data for improved segmentation performance.

In this context, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) was proposed by 3GPP to reduce the fiber optics deployment cost of 5G and beyond networks. In this paper, we first give a brief introduction of IAB based on the 3GPP release. After that, we survey existing research on IAB networks, the integrations of IAB to cache-enabled network, optical communication transport network, and the non-terrestrial network. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities that might arise while developing and commercializing IAB networks.

We have searched for correlations between quantified gas absorption properties, and host galaxy impact parameters, inclinations, position angles, and quantified morphological parameters. We report a 3.2-sigma correlation between asymmetric perturbations in the host galaxy morphology and the MgII absorption equivalent width. We suggest that this correlation may indicate a connection between past merging and/or interaction events in MgII absorption-selected galaxies and the velocity dispersion and quantity of gas surrounding these galaxies.

description: In a topology optimization setting, design-dependent fluidic pressure loads pose several challenges as their direction, magnitude, and location alter with topology evolution. This paper offers a compact 100-line MATLAB code, TOPress, for topology optimization of structures subjected to fluidic pressure loads using the method of moving asymptotes. The code is intended for pedagogical purposes and aims to ease the beginners' and students' learning toward topology optimization with design-dependent fluidic pressure loads. TOPress is developed per the approach first reported in Kumar et al. (Struct Multidisc Optim 61(4):1637-1655, 2020). The Darcy law, in conjunction with the drainage term, is used to model the applied pressure load. The consistent nodal loads are determined from the obtained pressure field. The employed approach facilitates inexpensive computation of the load sensitivities using the adjoint-variable method. Compliance minimization subject to volume constraint optimization problems are solved. The success and efficacy of the code are demonstrated by solving benchmark numerical examples involving pressure loads, wherein the importance of load sensitivities is also demonstrated. TOPress contains six main parts, is described in detail, and is extended to solve different problems. Steps to include a projection filter are provided to achieve loadbearing designs close to~0-1. The code is provided in Appendix~B and can also be downloaded along with its extensions from \url{https://github.com/PrabhatIn/TOPress}.

Female Perspectives on Career Advancement

description: There are current inequalities in the representation of females in higher administrative positions in public schools that are a product of historical and societal patterns. These patterns have determined the constraints women have faced and continue to face when they attempt to enter public school administration. Women represent the majority in the teaching profession and in school administration graduate programs, but are persistently absent from the highest and most powerful administrative positions in public education (Shakeshaft, 1999). The top three administrative posts in public school education (superintendent, assistant superintendent, and high school principal) remain overwhelmingly filled by males (Keller, 1999). According to Mary Hatwood Futurell, former President of the National Education Association, in 2002 only 12 percent of the superintendents are women and just five percent are minorities (AAUW, 2002). This astounding figure is approximately the same as was reported at the turn of the last century.

Constructing the supersymmetric Standard Model from intersecting D6-branes on the Z_6' orientifold

description: Intersecting stacks of supersymmetric fractional branes on the Z_6' orientifold may be used to construct the supersymmetric Standard Model. If $a,b$ are the stacks that generate the SU(3)_{colour} and SU(2)_L gauge particles, then, in order to obtain just the chiral spectrum of the (supersymmetric) Standard Model (with non-zero Yukawa couplings to the Higgs mutiplets),it is necessary that the number of intersections $a \cap b$ of the stacks $a$ and $b$, and the number of intersections $a \cap b'$ of $a$ with the orientifold image $b'$ of $b$ satisfy $(a \cap b,a \cap b')=(2,1)$ or $(1,2)$. It is also necessary that there is no matter in symmetric representations of the gauge group, and not too much matter in antisymmetric representations, on either stack. Fractional branes having all of these properties may be constructed on the Z_6' orientifold. We provide a number of new examples having these properties, some of which may be extended to give the Standard Model spectrum. Specifically, we construct four-stack models with two further stacks, each with just a single brane, which have the matter spectrum of the supersymmetric Standard Model, including a single pair of Higgs doublets, {\em plus} three right-chiral neutrino singlets. Ramond-Ramond tadpole cancellation is achieved by the introduction of background H_3 flux, the 3-form field strength associated with the Kalb-Ramond 2-form field B_2. There remains a single unwanted gauged U(1)_{B-L}.

description: We prove that for every tree $T$ of radius $h$, there is an integer $c$ such that every $T$-minor-free graph is contained in $H\boxtimes K_c$ for some graph $H$ with pathwidth at most $2h-1$. This is a qualitative strengthening of the Excluded Tree Minor Theorem of Robertson and Seymour (GM I). We show that radius is the right parameter to consider in this setting, and $2h-1$ is the best possible bound.

A Study of the Correlation Between the Motives of Female High Self Monitors and Emergent Leadership: A Literature Review
Creators: name: Slater, Charles
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: In 1972, researchers reported that only 4% of the Master of Business Administration graduates were women. This figure now exceeds 33%. Similarly, in 1972, women occupied about 20% of non-clerical, white-collar jobs. This figure has now grown to more than 46% (Sharpe, 1994). Sharpe also contended that in 1972, only 17% of all managerial positions were held by women, but by 1994 that number had increased by 43%. Although women have flooded managerial positions in recent years, concern still remains about what some refer to as a "glass ceiling" that prohibits women from reaching the topmost levels of corporate leadership. Ragins, Townsend, and Mattis (1998) stated that, of the most highly compensated corporate executives in Fortune 500 companies only 2% are currently women and only .4% of the Fortune 1000 Chief Executive Officer, (CEO), positions are held by women. Maruca (1997) promulgated that male CEOs blamed the "glass ceiling" on women's lack of experience and time in organizations. In the same study, however, female executives disagreed citing exclusionary corporate cultures as the reason for their lack of advancement to top management positions. This paper looks at one of the human behaviors known to be compatible with emergent leadership, self-monitoring behavior, and its possible relationship to the "glass ceiling" prohibiting women's advancement within corporations

Convergence of behaviour rules in iterated matrix games
Creators: name: Patrick, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This master's thesis reports on a foray into Game Theory, focusing solely on the twoperson (not necessarily zero-sum) game. Primarily, I am interested in the convergence properties of different behaviour rules and how one might proceed to introduce some form of learning into the strategies of the players involved in the game. Therefore, I begin with the introduction of some key equilibrium sets - namely the set of Nash Equilibria (NE), the set of correlated equilibria (CE) and the marginal best-response set (MBR). I briefly discuss the relationship between these three sets before moving on to describe some desirable properties of behaviour rules. From there, I introduce six behaviour rules (four from the literature, two original) that attempt to incorporate some form of learning into the game. The four from the literature are Fictitious Play, Exponential Fictitious play, Regrets 1 and Regrets 2. I have named the two original behaviour rules Past Response and Modified Regrets. I then move on to describe the convergence properties of each. This thesis was originally motivated by a talk given by Andreu Mas-Collel on the properties of the two Regrets-based behaviour rules. Thus, a fair amount of time is spent reworking the convergence proofs of both Regretsl and Regrets2 as they were developed by Mas-Collel and Sergiu Hart. I then suggest an alternative proof of the Regretsl convergence properties. I close off the paper with some numerical results from three games - a zero-sum game, a game developed by Lloyd Shapley (called the Shapley game) and a game called Battle of the Buddies. They are designed to give some numerical confirmation of the convergence theorems stated earlier in the paper as well as some indication as to where further study might be useful.

description: We study several problems concerning convex polygons whose vertices lie in a Cartesian product of two sets of $n$ real numbers (for short, \emph{grid}). First, we prove that every such grid contains $\Omega(\log n)$ points in convex position and that this bound is tight up to a constant factor. We generalize this result to $d$ dimensions (for a fixed $d\in \mathbb{N}$), and obtain a tight lower bound of $\Omega(\log^{d-1}n)$ for the maximum number of points in convex position in a $d$-dimensional grid. Second, we present polynomial-time algorithms for computing the longest x- or y-monotone convex polygonal chain in a grid that contains no two points with the same $x$- or $y$-coordinate. We show that the maximum size of a convex polygon with such unique coordinates can be efficiently approximated up to a factor of $2$. Finally, we present exponential bounds on the maximum number of point sets in convex position in such grids, and for some restricted variants. These bounds are tight up to polynomial factors.

description: We calculate interaction constants for the contributions from \PT-odd scalar-pseudoscalar and tensor-pseudotensor operators to the electric dipole moment of ${}^{129}$Xe, for the first time in case of the former, using relativistic many-body theory including the effects of dynamical electron correlations. These interaction constants are necessary ingredients to relating the corresponding measurements to fundamental parameters in models of physics beyond the Standard Model. We obtain $α_{C_S} = \left( 0.71 \pm 0.18 \right) [10^{-23}\, e~\text{cm}]$ and $α_{C_T}= \left( 0.520 \pm 0.049 \right) [10^{-20}\, \left_{\text{Xe}}\, e~\text{cm}]$, respectively. We apply our results to test a phenomenological relation between the two quantities, commonly used in the literature, and discuss their present and future phenomenological impact.

description: To explain the currently observed accelerated expansion of the universe, a large number of different theoretical models are presently being discussed. In one way or another, all of these contain `new physics', though at different levels. The big question is how to select out of infinitely many possible models the right one. Here we discuss a possibility that has so far been somewhat neglected, namely that the new physics underlying dark energy arises out of a gravitationally active amendment of the electroweak and strong sector of the standard model. This amendment basically consists of a rapidly fluctuating gravitationally active dynamics of vacuum fluctuations with a cutoff of the order of the neutrino mass scale. We consider a concrete model for this based on second-quantized self-interacting scalar fields, which evolve in a chaotic way. It is shown that expectations with respect to the chaotic dynamics yield statements on the observed numerical values of the electroweak coupling constants with amazing precision, thus providing evidence for the physical relevance of this model.
