description: In this article I review the research article “Coworking spaces: Empowerment for entrepreneurship and innovation in the digital and sharing economy” by Bouncken, Ratzmann, Barwinski and Kraus. In this article the authors focus on institutional patterns in coworking spaces and their effect on work satisfaction using a mixed methods approach. The reviewed work offers a first attempt to empirically investigate the content and configurations of institutional logics. The results of the article indicate that there are three distinct ways in which coworking spaces can enhance work satisfaction through applying institutional patterns. Generally, the authors provide valuable new insights that allow the reader to take a macro-organizational view of how the configurations of the factors drive empowerment and innovation forward. Furthermore, this review highlights the contributions of the article.

description: For centuries, a taxonomic and alphabetic arrangement (TAA) of objects on shelves prevailed in fluid-preserved natural history collections while they were managed mostly by scientists for their own or vistors’ on-site research using physical specimens. However, most modern collections are now databased and internet-accessible, facilitating diverse forms of research accomplished remotely and decreasing the frequency of need for physical access to specimens, yet the way specimens are shelved and accessed remains nearly universally unchanged. With our fish collection struggling with both severe space limitation and unprecedented rapid growth supporting externally funded research that requires rapid specimen processing and data publication, we started shelving in an object (jar) and catalog number-based arrangement (OCA). To make that possible in our limited and near-full space, without altering our physical shelves in any way, we eliminated all between-jar spaces in our collection, including the customary space between taxa, while keeping it in its original TAA-based order (thus eliminating TAA-based growth capacity. In the resultant empty shelf space, we implemented an OCA shelving system for all newly cataloged jars. Once the OCA contained a relatively large number of jars, we carried out pragmatic, TAA-OCA comparisons. Volumetric jar storage capacity in the OCA is 17% > TAA, and adjusting the OCA’s vertical shelf spacing to optimize for each of our 3 jar sizes (impossible in the TAA), could increase that to 115% > TAA. Ten of 15 routine staff tasks were more efficiently accomplished in the OCA than in the TAA, and the OCA greatly decreases shelving errors (misplacement). We discuss ways to improve efficiency in the OCA for the 5 tasks on which the TAA out-performed it, and report ancillary, unanticipated benefits, such as a way to much more efficiently and quickly monitor fluid levels across all jars. All newly cataloged specimen jars continue going into our OCA, and we have significantly postponed hitting the point of absolutely being unable to continue growing. We are hopeful that eventually, a move to a new space will enable conversion of the entire collection from TAA to a more fully-optimized OCA.

description: A novel statistical model for the cooperative binding of monomeric ligands to a linear lattice is developed to study the interaction of ionic surfactant molecules with flexible polyion chain in dilute solution. Electrostatic binding of a ligand to a site on the polyion and hydrophobic associations between the neighboring bound ligands are assumed to be stochastic processes. Ligand association separated by several lattice points within defined width is introduced for the flexible polyion. Model calculations by the Monte Carlo method are carried out to investigate the binding behavior. The hypothesis on the ligand association and its width on the chain are of importance in determining critical aggregation concentration and binding isotherm. The results are reasonable for the interpretations of several surfactant-flexible polyion binding experiments. The implications of the approach are presented and discussed.

description: In a co-design environment changes need to be integrated quickly and in an automated manner. This paper considers the challenge of creating and optimizing a global logistics system for the construction of a passenger aircraft within a co-design approach with respect to key performance indicators (like cost, time or resilience). The product in question is an aircraft, comprised of multiple components, manufactured at multiple sites worldwide. The goal is to find an optimal way to build the aircraft taking into consideration the requirements for its industrial system. The main motivation for approaching this challenge is to develop the industrial system in tandem with the product and making it more resilient against unforeseen events, reducing the risks of bottlenecks in the supply chain. This risk reduction ensures continued efficiency and operational success. To address this challenging and complex task we have chosen Answer Set Programming (ASP) as the modeling language, formalizing the relevant requirements of the investigated industrial system. The approach presented in this paper covers three main aspects: the extraction of the relevant information from a knowledge graph, the translation into logic programs and the computation of existing configurations guided by optimization criteria. Finally we visualize the results for an effortless evaluation of these models. Internal results seem promising and yielded several new research questions for future improvements of the discussed use case.

Radio rebrightening of the GRB afterglow by the accompanying supernova

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The gamma-ray burst (GRB) jet powers the afterglow emission by shocking the surrounding medium, and radio afterglow can now be routinely observed to almost a year after the explosion. Long-duration GRBs are accompanied by supernovae (SNe) that typically contain much more energy than the GRB jet. Here we consider the fact that the SN blast wave will also produce its own afterglow (supernova remnant emission), which will peak at much later time (since it is non-relativistic), when the SN blast wave transitions from a coasting phase to a decelerating Sedov-Taylor phase. We predict that this component will peak generally a few tens of years after the explosion and it will outshine the GRB powered afterglow well-before its peak emission. In the case of GRB 030329, where the external density is constrained by the $\sim 10$-year coverage of the radio GRB afterglow, the radio emission is predicted to start rising over the next decade and to continue to increase for the following decades up to a level of $\sim$ mJy. Detection of the SN-powered radio emission will greatly advance our knowledge of particle acceleration in $ \sim 0.1$c shocks.

description: Given the degree sequence $d$ of a graph, the realization graph of $d$ is the graph having as its vertices the labeled realizations of $d$, with two vertices adjacent if one realization may be obtained from the other via an edge-switching operation. We describe a connection between Cartesian products in realization graphs and the canonical decomposition of degree sequences described by R.I. Tyshkevich and others. As applications, we characterize the degree sequences whose realization graphs are triangle-free graphs or hypercubes.

description: The interplay between disorder and interactions can dramatically influence the physical properties of thin-film superconductors. In the most extreme case, strong disorder is able to suppress superconductivity as an insulating phase emerges. Due to the known pair-breaking potential of magnetic disorder on superconductors, the research focus is on the influence of nonmagnetic disorder. Here we provide direct evidence that magnetic disorder is also present at the surface of amorphous superconducting films. This magnetic disorder is present even in the absence of magnetic impurity atoms and is intimately related to the surface termination itself. While bulk superconductivity survives in sufficiently thick films, we suggest that magnetic disorder may crucially affect the superconductor-to-insulator transition in the thin-film limit.
The Janus System: Multi-paradigm Programming in Prolog and Python

description: Python and Prolog express different programming paradigms, with different strengths. Python is wildly popular because it is well-structured, easy to use, and mixes well with thousands of scientific and machine learning programs written in C. Prolog's logic-based approach provides powerful reasoning capabilities, especially when combined with constraint evaluation, probabilistic reasoning, well-founded negation, and other advances. Both languages have commonalities as well: both are usually written in C, both are dynamically typed, and both use data structures based on a small number of recursive types. This paper describes the design and implementation of Janus, a system that tightly combines Prolog and Python into a single process. Janus bi-translates data structures and offers performance of many hundreds of thousands of round-trip inter-language calls per second. Although Janus is still new, it has been used in commercial applications including natural language processing, visual query answering and robotic automation. Janus was developed for XSB, but porting Janus code to a second Prolog has been straightforward, indicating that Janus is a tool that other Prologs may easily adopt.

description: Впервые в отечественной историографии рассматриваются отношения Екатерины II с католиками в ранний период ее политической биографии, в ее бытность великой княгиней. Контакты будущей императрицы с католическими кругами изучены на основе неопубликованных документов российского и зарубежного происхождения, собранных Коллегией иностранных дел. Особое внимание уделено попыткам католических миссионеров опереться на поддержку великой княгини Екатерины для развития миссионерской работы на южных окраинах России и ближайшем к нему Закавказье. Охарактеризован политико-дипломатический контекст католических связей Екатерины, вклад австрийской дипломатии в их складывание, а также участие этом папства. В статье описано, как активность миссионеров в России, во многом явившаяся следствием союза России с Австрийской монархией, порождала религиозные конфликты на местах, в частности, между католиками и армяно-григоринами. Эти конфликты требовали от российских центральных и местных властей немалых усилий по их сглаживанию. Важным фактором вовлечения коронованных особ в вероисповедную политику служило наличие сформированной европеизированной католической среды как в столице и в придворных кругах, так и в российских губерниях, прежде всего на юге страны. В итоге автор приходит к выводу, что связи Екатерины в ее бытность великой княгиней с католиками носили устойчивый характер. Сближение Екатерины с католиками отражало ее политическую самостоятельность и поиски внешней поддержки в преддверии решительных шагов в борьбе за власть.

description: Next-gen computing paradigms foresee deploying applications to virtualised resources along a continuum of Cloud-Edge nodes. Much literature focussed on how to place applications onto such resources so as to meet their requirements. To lease resources to application operators, infrastructure providers need to identify a portion of their Cloud-Edge assets to meet set requirements. This article proposes a novel declarative resource selection strategy prototyped in Prolog to determine a suitable infrastructure portion that satisfies all requirements. The proposal is showcased over a lifelike scenario.

description: Semi-autonomous driving, as it is already available today and will eventually become even more accessible, implies the need for driver and automation system to reliably work together in order to ensure safe driving. A particular challenge in this endeavour are situations in which the vehicle's automation is no longer able to drive and is thus requesting the human to take over. In these situations the driver has to quickly build awareness for the traffic situation to be able to take over control and safely drive the car. Within this context we present a software and hardware framework to asses how aware the driver is about the situation and to provide human-centred assistance to help in building situation awareness. The framework is developed as a modular system within the Robot Operating System (ROS) with modules for sensing the environment and the driver state, modelling the driver's situation awareness, and for guiding the driver's attention using specialized Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). A particular focus of this paper is on an Answer Set Programming (ASP) based approach for modelling and reasoning about the driver's interpretation and projection of the scene. This is based on scene data, as well as eye-tracking data reflecting the scene elements observed by the driver. We present the overall application and discuss the role of semantic reasoning and modelling cognitive functions based on logic programming in such applications. Furthermore we present the ASP approach for interpretation and projection of the driver's situation awareness and its integration within the overall system in the context of a real-world use-case in simulated as well as in real driving.

description: После окончания Русско-японской войны и подавления революции в Европейской части России во Владивостоке активизировалась антиправительственная деятельность революционных партий и групп, взявших на вооружение насильственные методы борьбы за власть. В этой ситуации Департамент полиции Министерства внутренних дел в конце 1906 г. организовал во Владивостокской крепости Охранное отделение. Главная задача этого учреждения политической полиции Российской империи состояла в борьбе против революционного движения прежде всего методом внедрения секретных сотрудников в подпольные организации и их ликвидация методом провокации. В статье на основе неизвестных ранее архивных документов рассматриваются биографии и служебная деятельность двух секретных агентов Охранного отделения Владивостокской крепости в 1907–1908 гг. Раскрывается их активное участие в успешных и неудачных операциях охранного отделения, включая операции на территории Японии. Главное внимание уделено роли этих секретных агентов в операциях по выявлению и ликвидации террористических групп партии эсеров накануне и после Владивостокского восстания, произошедшего в октябре 1907 г. в сухопутных частях и на кораблях Тихоокеанского флота. Одним из итогов этих операций стал громкий скандал, в котором оказались замешаны не только секретные сотрудники, но и начальник Охранного отделения Владивостокской крепости подполковник А.Д. Заварицкий. По оценке автора, именно действия секретных агентов привели к тому, что в результате организованной ими провокации репрессиям подверглись люди, не имевшие отношения к революционному подполью. Опасаясь разоблачения, они обвинили в провокации своего начальника, но это не спасло их: они оказались на скамье подсудимых вместе с подполковником А.Д. Заварицким. Кроме того, «дело Заварицкого» показало низкий уровень профессиональной подготовки и использования секретных агентов в операциях против террористического подполья.

description: В статье проводится сравнение в основных моментах организации и деятельности государственного аппарата Советской России и СССР в годы Гражданской войны и Великой Отечественной войны. Главное внимание уделяется особенностям применения административно-командной системы управления в каждой из этих войн. Рассматриваются вопросы создания и деятельности высших учреждений обороны, изменения в структуре и деятельности центрального аппарата управления, взаимоотношений центральных и местных государственных учреждений и партийных органов. По мнению автора, созданная партий большевиков административно-командная система управления в условиях Гражданской войны Гражданской стала одним из факторов победы Советского государства в этой войне. В период между двумя войнами административно-командная система управления была дополнена рядом рычагов жесткого централизованного характера и распространена на все стороны государственной и общественной жизни СССР. В труднейшее время Великой Отечественной войны, несмотря на просчеты руководителей партии большевиков и Советского государства, а также на варварство некоторых методов этой системы управления, она оказалась вполне эффективной в решении военных задач. Это обстоятельство в очередной раз подействовало на партийно-государственное руководство воодушевляющее. Поэтому оно с не меньшим энтузиазмом продолжило использовать командно-административную систему управления и после войны.

ASCENSION examines my experience growing up as a female member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and how the Churchs visual culture influenced my perception of reality and the ineffable. These paintings and drawings explore the process of deprogramming my visuality. I appropriate sanctioned Mormon imagery and rearrange its narrative by remixing it with images lifted from the mainstream culture I was previously forbidden to engage with and observe. Through this process I expose the Churchs contradictions, problems, and flaws and create new meaning for myself and the viewer.

description: Absolute proper motions for $\sim$ 7.7 million objects were derived based on data from the South Galactic Cap u-band Sky Survey (SCUSS) and astrometric data derived from uncompressed Digitized Sky Surveys that the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) created from the Palomar and UK Schmidt survey plates. We put a great deal of effort into correcting the position-, magnitude-, and color-dependent systematic errors in the derived absolute proper motions. The spectroscopically confirmed quasars were used to test the internal systematic and random error of the proper motions. The systematic errors of the overall proper motions in the SCUSS catalog are estimated as -0.08 and -0.06 mas/yr for μα cos δ and μδ, respectively. The random errors of the proper motions in the SCUSS catalog are estimated independently as 4.2 and 4.4 mas/yr for μα cos δ and μδ. There are no obvious position-, magnitude-, and color-dependent systematic errors of the SCUSS proper motions. The random error of the proper motions goes up with the magnitude from about 3 mas/yr at u < 18.0 mag to about 7 mas/yr at u = 22.0 mag. The proper motions of stars in SCUSS catalog are compared with those in the SDSS catalog, and they are highly consistent.

description: Active Logic Documents (ALD) are web pages which incorporate embedded Prolog engines that run locally within the browser. ALD offers both a very easy way to add click-to-run capabilities to any kind of teaching materials, independently of the tool used to generate them, as well as a tool-set for generating web-based materials with embedded examples and exercises. Both leverage on (components of) the Ciao Prolog Playground. We present a demonstration of the ALD approach and the Ciao Prolog Playground, as well as a recent extension to ALDs to facilitate the integration of other tools into the system for creating Hybrid Active Logic Documents (HALD). We also present a concrete application of these technologies to the creation of tutorials for a program verification tool.

Understanding the interplay between food structures, ileum and appetite regulation
Creators: name: Dagbasi, Aygul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Evidence suggests that the ileum is an important player in appetite regulation. The ileum contains a high density of L-cells that secrete appetite suppressing hormones Glucagon Like Peptide-1 and Peptide YY (PYY) in response to luminal nutrients and bacterial fermentation products, short chain fatty acid (SCFAs). Processing of foods may change their structures and reduce the amount of carbohydrates reaching the ileum, which may reduce appetite hormone release. However, access to the human ileum is difficult and little is known about the interplay between food, ileum environment and appetite hormone release. This thesis aimed to understand the impact of food structures on the levels of carbohydrate reaching the ileum and their effect on SCFA production and appetite hormone release. A nasoenteric tube was placed in the distal ileum of healthy participants (n=10) who consumed one of the three intervention diets for four days: High fibre, intact structures (I-HF) High fibre, disrupted structures (D-HF) or Low fibre, disrupted structures (LF). Blood and ileal samples were collected on day 4 in fasted and fed states (hourly for 8h). Disrupting the food structures of a high fibre diet (D-HF) reduced the amount of reducing sugars and bile acids, but not starch, in the ileal space compared to a high fibre intact diet (IHF). The numbers of bacteria and the concentrations of SCFAs in the ileum dramatically dropped from fasted to postprandial states, and this effect was not different between the groups. Postprandial PYY release was higher in D-HF in comparison to LF. Metabolomic analysis of ileal contents identified dynamic changes in several metabolites which were different between groups, including aspartate which was higher in D-HF compared to I-HF and LF. In addition, D-HF had higher serum SCFAs compared to I-HF and LF groups. Therefore a difference in ileal metabolites and/or colonic fermentation may be playing a part in the observed PYY difference. Further studies are needed to better understand the role of food structures and ileal metabolites in appetite hormone release.

description: В статье впервые в отечественной историографии проанализированы канадско-российские отношения на протяжении XX – начала XXI вв. и охарактеризованы этапы их развития. Основное внимание уделяется трем основным историческим периодам канадско-российских отношений. Первый: с 1942 по 1945 гг., когда Канада и СССР сотрудничали в рамках антигитлеровской коалиции и установили прямые дипломатические отношения. Второй: 1945/1946–1989 гг., когда на двусторонние связи накладывали отпечаток события Холодной войны. Третий: с 1989 г. по настоящее время, когда для отношений между двумя государствами были характерны как положительная динамика развития, так и отрицательная. Рассматриваются многообразные исторические, экономические, внутриполитические, геополитические, военные и идеологические факторы, которые влияли на канадско-российские отношения на протяжении этих трех периодов. Автор приходит к выводу, что канадско-российские отношения развивались далеко не только на основе взаимовыгодности двусторонних связей, прежде всего в сфере экономики. На них самое глубокое влияние оказывали международная обстановка, изменения в системе международных отношений и деятельность НАТО, особенно во время Холодной войны. Особую роль сыграли два фактора: традиционная приверженность правительства Канады британской имперской идее и углубленное торгово-экономическое и военное сотрудничество с США.

Such was the case with the studies of the Habsburg monarchy phenomenon in the Russian intellectual tradition. The efforts to embrace it fall into several stages. The surges of acute attention were followed by its decline as the history of this state on the Danube emerged as a background for more significant developments in the Slavic lands. And then, as a response to contrastive imperial studies, interest was aroused toward holistic studies of monarchy, which brought about new discussions and conceptions. Despite its 150-year-long tradition, the Russian historiography of the Habsburg monarchy failed to shape into a separate intellectual project. It is accounted for by a number of factors coexisting for a long time, which directly influenced the historiographic situation. These are: 1) geopolitical factors; 2) Slavic factors; 3) gaps in the continuity of scientific schools and the abrupt change of paradigms in Russian historical science. Huge historiographic materials are used to analyze the turning points and crucial stages in the study of the phenomenon of the Habsburg monarchy in Russia’s intellectual tradition during one and a half century.

description: The generation of natural language text from data series gained renewed interest among AI research goals. Not surprisingly, the few proposals in the state of the art are based on training some system, in order to produce a text that describes and that is coherent to the data provided as input. Main challenges of such approaches are the proper identification of "what" to say (the key descriptive elements to be addressed in the data) and "how" to say: the correspondence and accuracy between data and text, the presence of contradictions/redundancy in the text, the control of the amount of synthesis. This paper presents a framework that is compliant with xAI requirements. In particular we model ASP/Python programs that enable an explicit control of accuracy errors and amount of synthesis, with proven optimal solutions. The text description is hierarchically organized, in a top-down structure where text is enriched with further details, according to logic rules. The generation of natural language descriptions' structure is also managed by logic rules.

description: В статье рассматривается творческая биография Ивана Петровича Сахарова, яркого представителя «непрофессионального» направления в российской исторической науке первой половины XIX в. Он исследовал историю Тульской губернии и активно занимался сбором и изданием фольклора русского народа. Исследуются интеллектуальная атмосфера российского провинциального общества 1820-х гг. и те социальные, политические и духовные факторы, которые подталкивали его представителей к изучению местной истории. Важнейшими из этих факторов явились Отечественная война 1812 г. и выход в свет «Истории государства Российского» Н.М. Карамзина. Особое внимание уделяется жизненному опыту и личностным особенностям И.П. Сахарова, а также его мировосприятию интеллектуала недворянского происхождения. Показывается, как его личностные особенности оказывали влияние на его научную работу, на его увлечение фольклористикой и, наконец, на его издательскую деятельность. На примере И.П. Сахарова раскрываются характерные черты менталитета «посадских людей» – социального слоя, являвшегося частью городского населения российской провинции. В отличие от разночинцев пореформенного времени, которые в массе своей усваивали революционно-демократическое мировоззрение, «посадские люди» 1830-х гг. стояли на консервативных и националистических позициях.

description: Deep Learning (DL) models have become popular for solving complex problems, but they have limitations such as the need for high-quality training data, lack of transparency, and robustness issues. Neuro-Symbolic AI has emerged as a promising approach combining the strengths of neural networks and symbolic reasoning. Symbolic knowledge injection (SKI) techniques are a popular method to incorporate symbolic knowledge into sub-symbolic systems. This work proposes solutions to improve the knowledge injection process and integrate elements of ML and logic into multi-agent systems (MAS).

description: The interest in explainability in artificial intelligence (AI) is growing vastly due to the near ubiquitous state of AI in our lives and the increasing complexity of AI systems. Answer-set Programming (ASP) is used in many areas, among them are industrial optimisation, knowledge management or life sciences, and thus of great interest in the context of explainability. To ensure the successful application of ASP as a problem-solving paradigm in the future, it is thus crucial to investigate explanations for ASP solutions. Such an explanation generally tries to give an answer to the question of why something is, respectively is not, part of the decision produced or solution to the formulated problem. Although several explanation approaches for ASP exist, almost all of them lack support for certain language features that are used in practice. Most notably, this encompasses the various ASP extensions that have been developed in the recent years to enable reasoning over theories, external computations, or neural networks. This project aims to fill some of these gaps and contribute to the state of the art in explainable ASP. We tackle this by extending the language support of existing approaches but also by the development of novel explanation formalisms, like contrastive explanations.

description: In this paper, we apply the theory of Chern-Cheeger-Simons to construct canonical invariants associated to a $r$-simplex whose points parametrize flat connections on a smooth manifold $X$. These invariants lie in degrees $(2p-r-1)$-cohomology with $C/Z$-coefficients, for $p> r\geq 1$. In turn, this corresponds to a homomorphism on the higher homology groups of the moduli space of flat connections, and taking values in $C/Z$-cohomology of the underlying smooth manifold $X$.

description: В статье анализируется имперская политика памяти на Кавказе. В хронологических рамках XIX – начала ХХ вв. авторы впервые в отечественной историографии рассматривают процесс формирования официальной исторической концепции присоединения Кавказа к России, ее отражение в нарративных практиках и мемориальной деятельности имперских властей. С методологических позиций memory studies показывается, что влияние на историческую память велось через составление исторических нарративов, публикацию архивных документов, создание музейных коллекций, строительство памятников, сохранение исторических зданий, памятных мест, частных или коллективных захоронений, а также проведение «актов коммеморации» – религиозных или общественных действий, приуроченных к годовщинам значимых событий. Эти формы проведения политики памяти наполнялись имперским пантеоном героев и историческими сюжетами, отражающими специфику установления российского владычества на Кавказе. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что действия официальных властей по формированию массового исторического сознания были нацелены на культивацию общеимперских ценностей: почитание российских императоров, силы российской власти и незыблемости имперских порядков. При этом выбор сюжетов для составления нарративов и монументальной пропаганды определялся сословной системой. Лишь отдельным социальным группам была предоставлена привилегия выражать свою историческую память. Данный подход неизбежно сужал целевую аудиторию имперской политики памяти и сводил ее к продвижению искусственного идеологического проекта, обреченного сойти с исторической арены как только прекратится его финансовая и идеологическая подпитка со стороны власти.

description: Although research demonstrates the necessity of social recovery capital (SRC) for youth in recovery, through having family that do not use substances and who support their recovery, the ways in which parents actually enact SRC have not been empirically examined. This qualitative study applied the Recovery Capital Model for Adolescents to group interview data from parent(s) of youth who resolved a substance use disorder (SUD) to explore the ways parents enacted SRC. The interviews were conducted in a prior ethnographic study in which parents of alternative peer group (APG) alumni volunteered to participate in a group interview; five mothers and five fathers of APG alumni participated in the interviews (n = 10). Three investigators analyzed the interview transcripts using the constant comparative method to identify family SRC and the specific components parents supported their child’s recovery. The primary themes of parent support of SRC included locus of control, parent growth, and sober/supportive home. Locus of control included parent strategies to leverage youth’s participation in treatment/recovery. Parent growth focused on the process of change parents described: from denial to developing insight and learning how to parent a child in addiction. Supportive and structured family included time spent with youth in recovery-related activities and improved communication and relationships. Together, these themes suggest a process of parent change that supports an adolescent’s recovery trajectory and increases parenting skills and coping. These themes also highlight how the APG structure enabled this process, generating potential hypotheses for future recovery-oriented research to address.

description: Stigmatization of opioid use constitutes a significant barrier to addressing the opioid crisis. Increasing use of social media by health professionals provides an opportunity to foster destigmatization. However, little is known about stigmatization and destigmatization within health professional social media Accordingly, this study investigates the use of stigmatizing and destigmatizing language in four Twitter communities: Medical, Public Health, Epidemiology, and Mental Health. Using a dataset of 33,981 tweets discussing opioids within these communities, we analyzed tweets for evidence of stigmatizing or destigmatizing language. Use of stigmatizing language is generally low and use of destigmatizing language is variable across communities. Additionally, there are measurable changes in language use on quarterly bases between 2009 and 2021. Mental Health shows a 7.1% quarterly reduction in the frequency of tweets with stigmatizing language (IRR = 0.928, 95% CI 0.877 to 0.984, p = .0159). Mental Health also shows a 5% quarterly increase in the frequency of destigmatizing tweets (IRR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.09, p = .00258). Medical Twitter experienced a 37% quarterly increase in destigmatizing tweet frequency (IRR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.15–1.64, p = .00291), and Public Health a 16% increase (IRR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.11–1.20, p =0.00000000373). Unfortunately, a regression discontinuity design shows a decrease in Public Health’s use of destigmatizing language since the emergence of COVID-19. While the longitudinal findings are promising, they also indicate a need for increased efforts to encourage broader use of destigmatizing language, especially post-COVID.
