SOME FEATURES OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS IN PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS IN MODERN STAGE
Creators: name: Belov, O.
Publisher: name: Norwegian Journal of Development of the International Science
Year: 2021
Subjects: depressive disorders
psychopathological symptoms
pathomorphosis

description: The features of psychopathological symptoms of depressive disorders were studied taking into account age and gender factor. It has been established that modern depressive disorders are characterized by polymorphism of symptoms with the presence of pronounced anxiety, obsessive and somatic manifestations; the severity of the main psychopathological symptoms increases with age. Gender differences are in the greater severity of symptoms of depression, hostility and paranoid symptoms in men, and anxiety, somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity and phobic anxiety in women. These features can be considered as manifestations of the clinical pathomorphosis of depression at the present stage.
PWA of 3pi Final States and a Search for the pi1(1600)

description: Partial wave analyses (PWA) of the 3pi systems in the reactions pi- p --> pi+ pi- pi- p (the ``charged'' mode) and pi- p --> pi- pi0 pi0 p (the ``neutral'' mode) with an 18.3 GeV/c pion beam were performed using high statistics data from the E852 experiment. Conventional signals, such as the a1(1260), the a2(1320), and the pi2(1670), were found to be remarkably stable to the choice of waves included in the fit. In contrast, possible evidence for the pi1(1600) in the JPC = 1-+ exotic wave amplitude disappears when additional decay modes of conventional mesons (especially those of the pi2(1670)) are included in the PWA fit.

description: The South African Petroleum Agency, in charge of “promoting and regulating offshore exploration and production,” maintains a national oil exploration and production database. This database indicates that the last decade (since 2010) has seen a rapid increase in the number of applications and grants of offshore rights and leases. The offshore oil and gas sector aims to support the rapid development of the offshore oil and gas sector by “creating an environment conducive to exploration”. The task of the laboratory is to accelerate the drilling of thirty wells over the next ten years and develop such an infrastructure as a staged gas pipeline network.

description: To execute a motor solution to a given task, individuals search through the space of movement possibilities guided by information that arises from the interaction with task and environment. Through this search, individuals seek to avoid inappropriate solutions through local minima in the task space. The processes that lead to some but not all individuals avoiding local minima and finding solutions is not yet understood. Based on the tenets of ecological psychology for perception and action, we examined in two experiments the hypothesis that the incapacity to differentiate errors (performance of an inappropriate solution) from inherent variability would interfere with the perception of properties of the task space and result in a longer time performing an inappropriate solution for the task before exploration of other solutions. Inherent variability was shown to be a direct predictor of the changes in the search strategies. Also, we found that the specifics of the search patterns could predict the performance in the task. Thus, the pattern of motion through the task space affords perception of specific properties of this space guiding individuals in the evolving dynamics of exploration or exploitation.

description: Recently, the authors presented a covariant extension of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) with a Lorentz invariant minimum length. This opens the way for constructing and exploring the observable consequences of minimum length in Relativistic Quantum Field Theories. In particular, we compute quantum gravity corrections to high energy scattering experiments, which may provide the much needed window of testing minimum length and quantum gravity theories in the laboratory. To this end, we formulate the Lagrangian of Quantum Electrodynamics for a complex scalar fields from the GUP modified minimally coupled Klein-Gordon equation and write down its Feynman rules. We then calculate the Relativistic Generalized Uncertainty Principle corrections to a Quantum Electrodynamics scattering amplitude and discuss its implications.

Microstates of the D1-D5-KK System

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We find supergravity solutions corresponding to all U(1) x U(1) invariant chiral primaries of the D1-D5-KK system. These solutions are 1/8 BPS, carry angular momentum, and are asymptotically flat in the 3+1 dimensional sense. They can be thought of as representing the ground states of the four dimensional black hole constructed from the D1-D5-KK-P system. Demanding the absence of unphysical singularities in our solutions determines all free parameters, and gives precise agreement with the quantum numbers expected from the CFT point of view. The physical mechanism behind the smoothness of the solutions is that the D1-branes and D5-branes expand into a KK-monopole supertube in the transverse space of the original KK-monopole.

This algorithm extracts the colour degree of freedom of the automaton as a word which turns out to be a conserved quantity of this dynamical system. It is based on the theory of crystal basis and in particular on the tensor products of sl_n crystals of symmetric and anti-symmetric tensor representations.

description: Exposure to disturbing imagery can significantly impact individuals, especially professionals who encounter such content as part of their work. This article presents a user study, involving 107 participants, predominantly journalists and human rights investigators, that explores the capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based image filters to potentially mitigate the emotional impact of viewing such disturbing content. We tested five different filter styles, both traditional (Blurring and Partial Blurring) and AI-based (Drawing, Colored Drawing, and Painting), and measured their effectiveness in terms of conveying image information while reducing emotional distress. Our main findings suggest that the AI-based Drawing style filter demonstrates the best performance, offering a promising solution for reducing negative feelings (−30.38%) while preserving the interpretability of the image (97.19%). Overall, this article contributes to the development of a more ethically considerate and effective visual environment for professionals routinely engaging with potentially disturbing imagery.

description: Increased strain on the hospitality industry following the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing labor shortages has led to calls for new technologies such as smartwatches for understanding and improving work conditions for housekeepers, who are often from vulnerable and marginalized populations. In addition to concerns regarding how new technologies will be received by workers, questions remain as to whether metrics derived from smartwatches can usefully predict aspects of the worker experience, such as feelings of stress. We recruited 20 hotel housekeepers to wear smartwatch-based sensors during work for approximately 20 eight-hour shifts. In addition to pre- and post-participation surveys on workplace attitudes, participants provided daily stress ratings. Findings revealed increased technology acceptance and perceptions of organizational support following smartwatch use. Smartwatch metrics reliably predicted participant ratings of daily and overall stress. Theoretical implications for technology acceptance and practical implications for introducing technology into the workplace are discussed.

The notion of Ito B*-algebra, generalizing the C*-algebra is defined to include the Banach infinite dimensional Ito algebras of quantum Brownian and quantum Levy motion, and the B*-algebras of vacuum and thermal quantum noise are characterized. It is proved that every Ito algebra is canonically decomposed into the orthogonal sum of quantum Brownian (Wiener) algebra and quantum Levy (Poisson) algebra. In particular, every quantum thermal noise is the orthogonal sum of a quantum Wiener noise and a quantum Poisson noise as it is stated by the Levy-Khinchin Theorem in the classical case .

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) has started to empower the future of many industrial and mass-market applications. Localization techniques are becoming key to add location context to IoT data without human perception and intervention. Meanwhile, the newly-emerged Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies have advantages such as long-range, low power consumption, low cost, massive connections, and the capability for communication in both indoor and outdoor areas. These features make LPWAN signals strong candidates for mass-market localization applications. However, there are various error sources that have limited localization performance by using such IoT signals. This paper reviews the IoT localization system through the following sequence: IoT localization system review -- localization data sources -- localization algorithms -- localization error sources and mitigation -- localization performance evaluation. Compared to the related surveys, this paper has a more comprehensive and state-of-the-art review on IoT localization methods, an original review on IoT localization error sources and mitigation, an original review on IoT localization performance evaluation, and a more comprehensive review of IoT localization applications, opportunities, and challenges. Thus, this survey provides comprehensive guidance for peers who are interested in enabling localization ability in the existing IoT systems, using IoT systems for localization, or integrating IoT signals with the existing localization sensors.

description: An ultraviolet-visible spectrum between 300 and 450 nm of a cometary meteoroid that originated from 55P/Tempel-Tuttle was investigated, and its new molecules, induced by atmospheric interaction, were discovered. The spectroscopy was carried out using an intensified high-definition TV camera with a slitless reflection grating during the 2001 Leonid meteor shower over Japan. A best-fit calculation mixed with atoms and molecules confirmed the first discovery of N2+ (B-X) bands in the UV meteor spectrum. The N2+ temperature was estimated to be 10,000 K with a low number density of 1.55 x 10^5 cm-3. Such unexpectedly strong ultraviolet emission, in particular for N2+(1,0) at 353.4 nm, is supposed to be formed through the wide dimensions of high-temperature regions caused by a large meteoroid. Spectroscopic observations of reentry capsules will provide us with good opportunities for confirming the discovered N2+.

This farm analysis bulletin provides an overview of the income situation of Canadian farm operators in 2003. The information is based on a sample of tax records from the Net Income Stabilization Account/Taxation Data Program (NISA/TDP) database. It includes information on operators of unincorporated farms reporting total operating revenues of $10,000 and over or those operating an incorporated farm reporting total operating revenues of $25,000 or more. Communal farming operations are excluded. The NISA/TDP is a major source of financial data for the Whole Farm Data Project (WFDP). The information from personal income tax records is valuable because it provides detailed revenue and expense data and allows estimates of off-farm income for farm families.

description: The momentum distribution function for the two-component 1D gases of bosons and fermions is studied in the limit of strong interatomic repulsion. A pronounced reconstruction of the distribution is found at a temperature much smaller than the Fermi temperature. This new temperature scale, which equals the Fermi temperature divided by the dimensionless coupling strength, is a feature of the two-component model and does not exist in the one-component case. We estimate the parameters relevant for the experimental observation of the crossover effect.

description: Using time-dependent current-density functional theory, we derive analytically the dynamical exchange-correlation correction to the DC conductance of nanoscale junctions. The correction pertains to the conductance calculated in the zero-frequency limit of time-dependent density-functional theory within the adiabatic local-density approximation. In particular, we show that in linear response the correction depends non-linearly on the gradient of the electron density; thus, it is more pronounced for molecular junctions than for quantum point contacts. We provide specific numerical examples to illustrate these findings.

description: This study aims to determine the optimal electrode positions and re-referencing strategies for ear biosignals by systematically comparing ear and conventional biosignals. We analysed four physiological signals: electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), electrooculography (EOG), and electrocardiography (ECG), with five re-referencing strategies. The signals were recorded from conventional locations and around the ears. Quantitative measures, such as the signal-to-noise ratio, F1 score, and correlation, were employed to identify the optimal electrode positions and re-referencing strategies for each physiological signal type. The optimal ear electrode positions were selected based on their proximity to conventional configurations: the upper part/behind the ear for EEG, the lower part for blink detection and vertical EOG, and the front for clench EMG and horizontal EOG. While no single re-referencing strategy consistently performed best for all physiological signals, we found that (mean-)ipsilateral re-referencing strategies were more suitable for EEG, EMG, blink detection, and vertical EOG, whereas (mean-)contralateral re-referencing strategies were more effective for horizontal EOG and ECG compared to other strategies. The optimal ear electrode positions and re-referencing methods varied slightly across subjects and demonstrated comparable performance to the conventional configurations in terms of quantitative measures. Ear biosignals have the potential for use in developing human-computer interfaces with comparable performance to conventional electrode configuration while being more practical in terms of attachment and detachment. This study provides in-depth insight into the optimal electrode locations and re-referencing strategy for developing ear-biosignal-based human-computer-interface applications.

description: Mindful human–computer interaction has been increasingly used to induce emotion regulation. The Coral Morph is an artistic shape-changing textile installation designed for mindful emotion regulation in public spaces. The installation incorporates affective soft-robotic material movements, heart rate physicalization, and expressive interactive textile features conceived to enhance sensory engagement. In an exhibition, 55 participants were recruited to interact with Coral Morph, allowing the evaluation of its sensory engagement, somesthetic appreciation, and lifelikeness perception. Participants’ facial expressions during interaction were triangulated with their questionnaire responses, and short interviews were conducted enquiring on the somatic feedback after the interaction. The empirical findings confirmed that participants perceived the installation as emotionally intelligent, animate, likable, safe, and interesting. Participants regarded the experience as pleasant, calm, positive, and relaxed, appreciating the somesthetic aspects, thus highlighting the effectiveness of the design elements. Furthermore, we highlighted the significance of individual differences in shaping the interactive encounter. These findings inform well-being and human–computer interaction researchers on designing future responsive installations for mindfulness and identifying future research avenues, encompassing the nuanced exploration of interactive material behaviors and advancements in evaluation methodologies.
Zero temperature dynamics of Ising model on a densely connected small world network

description: The zero temperature quenching dynamics of the ferromagnetic Ising model on a densely connected small world network is studied where long range bonds are added randomly with a finite probability $p$. We find that in contrast to the sparsely connected networks and random graph, there is no freezing and an initial random configuration of the spins reaches the equilibrium configuration within a very few Monte Carlo time steps in the thermodynamic limit for any $p \ne 0$. The residual energy and the number of spins flipped at any time shows an exponential relaxation to equilibrium. The persistence probability is also studied and it shows a saturation within a few time steps, the saturation value being 0.5 in the thermodynamic limit. These results are explained in the light of the topological properties of the network which is highly clustered and has a novel small world behaviour.

description: In an ideal accelerator, the single-particle dynamics can be decoupled into transverse motion -- the betatron oscillations -- and longitudinal motion -- the synchrotron oscillations. Chromatic and dispersive effects introduce a coupling between these dynamics, the so-called synchro-betatron coupling. We present an analysis of the fully coupled dynamics over a single synchrotron oscillation that leads to an averaged invariant with synchro-betatron coupling in a generic lattice. We apply this analysis to two problems: first, a toy lattice where the computations are analytically tractable, then a design for a rapid cycling synchrotron built using the integrable optics described by Danilov and Nagaitsev, showing that although there is fairly complex behavior over the course of a synchrotron oscillation, the Danilov-Nagaitsev invariants are nevertheless periodic with the synchrotron motion.

description: The fundamental dislocation processes of glide, climb, and annihilation are studied on diffusive time scales within the framework of a continuum field theory, the Phase Field Crystals (PFC) model. Glide and climb are examined for single edge dislocations subjected to shear and compressive strain, respectively, in a two dimensional hexagonal lattice. It is shown that the natural features of these processes are reproduced without any explicit consideration of elasticity theory or ad hoc construction of microscopic Peierls potentials. Particular attention is paid to the Peierls barrier for dislocation glide/climb and the ensuing dynamic behavior as functions of strain rate, temperature, and dislocation density. It is shown that the dynamics are accurately described by simple viscous motion equations for an overdamped point mass, where the dislocation mobility is the only adjustable parameter. The critical distance for the annihilation of two edge dislocations as a function of separation angle is also presented.

An analysis of machine shape defects in British Columbia sawmills and their classification using neural networks
Creators: name: Rasmussen, Helen Katrina E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Ideally, the edges of lumber are parallel to each other and its ends are rectangular and in line with each other. However, sub-optimal occurrences in the sawing processes cause deviations from this ideal shape. In the sawmill, these deviations are often detected as off-size variations in thickness, and one particular defect shape is not necessarily distinguished from another in the downgrading process. These defects, different from machine defects like torn grain or skip, are referred to as machine shape defects in this thesis. The first part of this thesis implements a survey to analyse machine shape defects in British Columbia sawmills, while the second part employs neural networks as an experimental approach in the classification of these defects. A survey was designed and implemented to determine the industrial significance of machine shape defects in British Columbia sawmills. Completed in 2000, the survey focused on six machine shape defects commonly caused by the sawing process: snipe, flare, wedge, taper, thin snake and fat snake. Responses came from mills located across BC and from both large and small forest companies responsible for 33% of BC softwood lumber production in 2000. Characterising BC sawmills according to machine shape defects and annual production shows that for each category of mill, with one exception, there is over a 20% probability of producing at least five types of machine shape defects. The most common grade cited for all machine shape defects was No. 2 Structural. By ranking the machine shape defects in terms of occurrence and by determining which ones are most serious in terms of final quality, it was established that thin snake, snipe and taper have the most serious impact on the industry. Neural networks were trained to detect and classify snipe in rough green lumber, using more than one hundred trim ends sampled randomly from a mill experiencing difficulty processing frozen wood. A self-contained measuring apparatus was constructed to support measuring equipment and to convey the sample boards through the measuring range of six lasers at a steady rate, using the automatic feedrollers of a shaper table. A statistical model was developed to interpret the physical characteristics of the board's surface, focussing on its shape. This model was used to preprocess the laser data into a set of variables, simplifying the data set for input into the neural networks. It was demonstrated that neural networks can be applied with limited success to detect machine shape defects, in particular snipe, in random samples of rough green lumber. However, it was established that more training data is required to train the neural networks to classify the sample cases with combination snipe.
Aborting the fetus that threatens the life of its mother/إسقاط الجنين الذي يهدد حياة أمّه

description: Among the provisions that derive from the objects of preserving both the self and the children are the provisions that relate to the fetus. The most important provisions of these is the issue of abortion. Islamic scholars and jurists, classic and contemporary, have expanded in explaining this issue. However, the scientific developments in the field of medicine have opened new horizons and presented facts that were unknown to the classic jurists. Among these facts is the opinion on aborting the fetus if the continuation of the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother. This research attempts to explore this issue and the deliverance of the formal Islamic jurisprudent opinion by extrapolating the opinions of classic and contemporary jurists. The study, furthermore, takes advantage of the advanced modern medical data on this issue. The research consists of an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter addresses the meaning of and defines the fetus, the stages of its formation briefly, then the opinion on abortion in general. The second chapter proceeds to tackle the issue of the fetus abortion which threatens the life of its mother. The opinions of the jurists as well as the medical field are thus presented. Finally, the preponderant opinion in the issue is presented.

Size of Isospin Breaking in Charged K(L4) Decay

description: We evaluate the size of isospin breaking corrections to form factors $f$ and $g$ of the $K_{\ell 4}$ decay process $K^+\toπ^+π^-\ell^+ν_{\ell}$ which is actually measured by the extended NA48 setup at CERN. We found that, keeping apart the effect of Coulomb interaction, isospin breaking does not affect modules. This is due to the cancelation between corrections of electromagnetic origin and those generated by the difference between up and down quark masses. On the other hand, electromagnetism affects considerably phases if the infrared divergence is dropped out using a minimal subtraction scheme. Consequently, the greatest care must be taken in the extraction of $ππ$ phase shifts from experiment.

description: The benefits obtained from home automation are promising and will become more pronounced as smart home technologies continue to develop. To achieve benefits, users require operational, data, and strategic skills to control and automate smart devices, retrieve and understand collected data, and make informed decisions. These skills were tested by providing assignments in a virtual test environment to 100 Dutch adult participants. The assignments were designed to measure different facets of all skills by using the functions, data, and automations of smart home devices. The results suggest that the Dutch adult population is not sufficiently skilled in using the smart home to its full potential; several skills related problems occurred in the tests. Furthermore, in terms of gender, age, and education, home automation further reinforces existing social-digital inequalities. Thus, earlier digital inequalities will remain present for some time, despite increasing device autonomy.

description: The application of a polymer brush in sensing, actuation, self-folding, among others acutely depends on the tuneable bending of a brush-grafted substrate caused by the stress in the brush. However, the stress in a stimuli-responsive brush has not been investigated. In this work, we study the stress in the stimuli-responsive planar polymer brushes of neutral water-soluble polymers with low to very high graft densities using strong stretching theory (SST). First, SST with the Langevin force-extension relation for a polymer chain is extended to the study of stimuli-responsive brushes. Stress profile and other properties of a Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) brush are then obtained using the extended SST and an empirical Flory-Huggins parameter. The model predicts that the stress in a PNIPAm brush is inhomogeneous and compressive at all temperatures and graft densities. The resultant stress is predicted to increase in magnitude with increasing graft density. Moreover, it decreases in magnitude with an increase in temperature before plateauing in low graft density brushes. In contrast, its magnitude increases weakly with increasing temperature in high density brushes. This contrasting behavior is traced to the minimum in interaction free energy density \emph{vs} polymer volume fraction curve for PNIPAm solution at a large volume fraction, and stiffening of chains due to finite extensibility. Furthermore, our results indicate that the ability to tune the resultant stress by changing temperature diminishes with increasing graft density.

description: A generalized definition of quantum stochastic (QS) integrals and differentials is given in the free of adaptiveness and dimensionality form in terms of Malliavin derivative on a projective Fock space, and their uniform continuity with respect to the inductive limite convergence is proved. A new form of QS calculus based on an inductive *-algebraic structure in an indefinite space is developed and a nonadaptive generalization of the QS Ito formula for its representation in Fock space is derived. The problem of solution of general QS evolution equations in a Hilbert space is solved in terms of the constructed operator representation of chronological products, defined in the indefinite space, and isometry and *-homomorphism property respectively for operators and maps of these solutions, corresponding to the peseudounitary and *-homomorphism property of the QS integrable generators is proved.

description: Although Casimir, or quantum vacuum, forces between distinct bodies, or self-stresses of individual bodies, have been calculated by a variety of different methods since 1948, they have always been plagued by divergences. Some of these divergences are associated with the volume, and so may be more or less unambiguously removed, while other divergences are associated with the surface. The interpretation of these has been quite controversial. Particularly mysterious is the contradiction between finite total self-energies and surface divergences in the local energy density. In this paper we clarify the role of surface divergences.

description: Today, in low-permeability oil and gas fields, one of the most recommended and effective stimulation techniques is the use of horizontal wells with extensive multi-zone hydraulic fracturing treatments. However, the complexity and specificity of the geological structure of reservoirs does not permit to achieve predicted oil recovery factors sometimes, as such specialists are still pursuing new techniques and fracturing technologies. In this paper, one of them which is the unique Texas two steps (TTS) technology have been examined.
