title: Social Anxiety: Personal Narratives on Journeys to Recovery
Creators: name: McCarthy, Catherine
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2014

description: Introduction: Social anxiety is a common experience. For some it is a debilitating,
chronic difficulty, which becomes problematic during childhood and can have
devastating effects. Talking therapies are useful for many, particularly in reducing
anxiety. However, many people never access treatment and for those that do,
therapies do not tend to improve their quality of life, particularly their social worlds.
Do we need to look beyond clinical recovery measures when assessing therapeutic
outcomes? There has been no research that has explored personal recovery in
social anxiety. This thesis seeks to understand whether people with problematic
social anxiety experience personal recovery and if so, how.
Methods: A participatory action research (PAR) approach was used to develop the
project. People with problematic social anxiety advised on study design, data
collection, analysis and dissemination of the findings. 8 narratives of living with
problematic social anxiety were collected to explore how people negotiate social
anxiety and what this can tell us about personal recovery. A narrative analysis was
then carried out, drawing upon Frank’s (1995, 2012) dialogical narratives analysis of
illness stories and Adame and Hornstein’s (2006) typology of emotional distress
narratives.
Findings: The participants’ stories of living with problematic social anxiety
highlighted the variety of ways that people make sense of this difficulty. The types of
stories told were reminiscent of Frank’s (1995, 2010) illness narratives, as people
told stories of restitution, chaos and quest. People drew upon traditional, counter and
alternative mental health narratives to negotiate social anxiety, reminding us of the
multiple ways people can find to overcome emotional distress.
Discussion: The PAR study showed how people struggling with a mental health
difficulty can be at the centre of research which strives to better understand their
struggles and improve talking therapies. The study reminds us that the “social”
aspects of social anxiety need to be better acknowledged within therapies so that we
do not only focus on reducing anxiety but help people improve their relationships and
quality of life.

title: Race, Identity and the Transference/Countertransference: A Mixed –Race Patient and a Mixed-Race Therapist- A Single Case Study
Creators: name: Millar, Tennyson
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is a single case-study of a child and adolescent psychotherapist working with a fourteen year old female adolescent patient of similar mixed ethnic background. The thesis presents the completed two year therapeutic work which included periods of intensive therapy (3-4 times-a-week work) following less intensive work.
The patient’s early life was marked by witnessing parental domestic violence and parents who divorced. She subsequently struggled with maintaining relationships and presented race and gender identity ambiguity. She had consistently self-harmed and overdosed since the age of thirteen. The psychotherapist relied heavily on his countertransference in order to better understand and make sense of the patient’s inner world, particularly regarding issues of identity, race, gender and attachment.
The primary research method used to analyse processed clinical session notes was Grounded Theory Method.
The construction of the AIDS epidemic as a gay cancer by the media

description: From the discussion "society" and "communication", using the pragmatic-systemic theory of Leonel Severo Rocha, the present work was divided into three chapters that will be presented in the next lines. In the first chapter, it is about the idea of society as communication, in which social development needs communication as a means of enabling human coexistence and the formation of social systems. In this sense, when working the category "communication", it is necessary to highlight the importance of "media" as institutions of society, which produce, reproduce and spread communication. The mass media are both books, magazines and newspapers, as well as radio, television and the internet. These institutions directly interfere in the formation of public opinion with their descriptions of the social reality. Starting with the idea of systems, the mass media operate under the binomial information/non-information. The second chapter shows the relationship between the "mass media" and the so-called "protest movements". Then, using Niklas Luhmann's theory, an observation is made about the AIDS epidemic and the formation of public opinion around the disease in the first decade since the first case of HIV virus contamination. The AIDS epidemic is marked by the strengthening of the stereotype that the disease was directly linked to homosexuality, although it was already known that the HIV virus did not only contaminate homosexuals. However, the mass media mobilized public opinion with sensationalist information, having placed homosexuals as "scapegoats" of the epidemic. This link between homosexuality and AIDS was worked alongside Antonin Artaud's text entitled "The theater and its double", in which a dialogue was made between the "gay plague" and the history of the ship Grand-Saint-Antoine. The work concludes by observing the influence of protest movements in the modification of public opinion regarding the AIDS epidemic, with the advance of science and the gradual disintegration of the idea that the HIV virus only contaminated homosexuals. The AIDS epidemic is observed in parallel with the essay "The disease as a metaphor", written by Susan Sontag.

description: Given smooth manifolds $M_1,\ldots, M_n$ (which may have a boundary or corners), a smooth manifold $N$ modeled on locally convex spaces and $α\in({\mathbb N}_0\cup\{\infty\})^n$, we consider the set $C^α(M_1\times\cdots\times M_n,N)$ of all mappings $f\colon M_1\times\cdots\times M_n\to N$ which are $C^α$ in the sense of Alzaareer. Such mappings admit, simultaneously, continuous iterated directional derivatives of orders $\leq α_j$ in the $j$th variable for $j\in\{1,\ldots, n\}$, in local charts. We show that $C^α(M_1\times\cdots\times M_n,N)$ admits a canonical smooth manifold structure whenever each $M_j$ is compact and $N$ admits a local addition. The case of non-compact domains is also considered.

description: Summary: This article is not about red trousers. The title points to a political foolishness that killed more than 100,000 soldiers. The discussion of this foolishness is an introduction to a general discussion of the reasons for political foolishness. – In her book ‘The March of Folly – From Troy to Vietnam’, Barbara Tuchman said that in the last 3,000 years mankind has made large progress, primarily in science, but also in medicine, architecture, economy, agriculture, etc. Only in politics, in the art of managing a state, nearly no progress is visible. Others share this opinion. The Swedish Chancellor in the time of Gustav II Adolph, in the time of the 30 Years’ War, Axel Oxenstierna, said to his son, who was elected for an important political position and had doubts, whether, with his 18 years, he would be able to cope with this difficult task: “If you would know, my son, with what low degree of intelligence the world is governed . . . .” – In surveys about the reputation of professions, politicians normally get low ranks. Why is that so? – In this article we try to give an answer to that question. The answer is very simple. Foolish decisions are reducible firstly to a low or wavering self-esteem. Secondly, they are based on a lack of phantasy; politicians have difficulties in finding new solutions for problems. – This answer is not at all new; already Platon and – nearly at the same time – the ancient Indian Bhagavad Gita gave the same response. In this article we develop a theory about political foolishness.

description: In this work we analyze how quadrature rules of different precisions and piecewise polynomial test functions of different degrees affect the convergence rate of Variational Physics Informed Neural Networks (VPINN) with respect to mesh refinement, while solving elliptic boundary-value problems. Using a Petrov-Galerkin framework relying on an inf-sup condition, we derive an a priori error estimate in the energy norm between the exact solution and a suitable high-order piecewise interpolant of a computed neural network. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical predictions and highlight the importance of the inf-sup condition. Our results suggest, somehow counterintuitively, that for smooth solutions the best strategy to achieve a high decay rate of the error consists in choosing test functions of the lowest polynomial degree, while using quadrature formulas of suitably high precision.

description: An $\omega$-language over a finite alphabet $X$ is a set of infinite sequences of letters of
$X$. Previously studied syntactic equivalence relations defined by $\omega$-languages have
mainly been relations on $X^*$. In this paper the emphasis is put on relations in $X^\omega$, by
associating to an $\omega$-language $L$ a congruence on $X^\omega$, called the $\omega$-syntactic congruence
of $L$. Properties of this congruence and notions induced by it, such as $\omega$-residue, $\omega$-density,
and separativeness are defined and investigated. Finally, a congruence on $X^*$
related to the $\omega$-syntactic congruence and quasi-orders on $X^\omega$ induced by an $\omega$-language
are studied.

description: This report summarizes the results of the Sino-European co-design event, which was organized as part of Task 3.1 in the CLEARING HOUSE project. The event took place virtually in two parts, on June 14th and June 25th, 2021, and was organized by CAF-RIF and EFI, with the support of LGI. The events brought together cities, policymakers, civil society and scientists from all selected case studies and relevant continental organisations in Europe and China. It had two main objectives. Part one sought to identify the most critical questions to be analysed in the comparative case study analysis (T2.2). Meanwhile part two focused on defining the requirements for the tools and actions to be developed during WP4 and WP5, so that the implementation of CLEARING HOUSE can respond to multiple stakeholders' needs in the best possible manner. The core outcomes of these events, which are documented in this co-design report, will be decisive to inform the analytical framework for the case study analysis.

title: Regular Extended H Systems are Computationally Universal
Creators: name: Păun, Gheorghe
Publisher: name: Institut für Informatik, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen
Year: 1996

description: Recently, a new type of generative mechanisms were introduced, under the name of H
systems. They are based on the splicing operation, a language-theoretic counterpart of
DNA recombination. Extended H systems with finite sets of rules are known to generate
regular languages only. If (at least) linear sets of rules are used, then characterizations
of recursively enumerable languages are obtained. The power of the intermediate class
of H systems, with regular sets of splicing rules, is not yet known. We settle here the
question, by proving that extended H systems with finite sets of axioms and regular
sets of rules characterize the recursively enumerable languages, thus having the full
power of Turing machines (in fact, one axiom is shown to suffice).

description: We present a joint graph convolution-image convolution neural network as our submission to the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) 2021 challenge. We model each brain as a graph composed of distinct image regions, which is initially segmented by a graph neural network (GNN). Subsequently, the tumorous volume identified by the GNN is further refined by a simple (voxel) convolutional neural network (CNN), which produces the final segmentation. This approach captures both global brain feature interactions via the graphical representation and local image details through the use of convolutional filters. We find that the GNN component by itself can effectively identify and segment the brain tumors. The addition of the CNN further improves the median performance of the model by 2 percent across all metrics evaluated. On the validation set, our joint GNN-CNN model achieves mean Dice scores of 0.89, 0.81, 0.73 and mean Hausdorff distances (95th percentile) of 6.8, 12.6, 28.2mm on the whole tumor, core tumor, and enhancing tumor, respectively.

description: The evolution of white dwarfs (WDs) depends crucially on thermal processes. The plasma in their core can produce neutrinos which escape from the star, thus contributing to the energy loss. While in absence of a magnetic field the main cooling mechanism is plasmon decay at high temperature and photon surface emission at low temperature, a large magnetic field in the core hiding beneath the surface even of ordinary WDs, and undetectable to spectropolarimetric measurements, can potentially leave an imprint in the cooling. In this paper, we revisit the contribution to WD cooling stemming from neutrino pair synchrotron radiation and the effects of the magnetic field on plasmon decay. Our key finding is that even if observations limit the magnetic field strength at the stellar surface, magnetic fields in the interior of WDs -- with or without a surface magnetic field -- can be strong enough to modify the cooling rate, with neutrino pair synchrotron emission being the most important contribution. This effect may not only be relevant for the quantification and interpretation of cooling anomalies, but also suggests that the internal magnetic fields of WDs should be smaller than $\sim 6\times 10^{11}\,\rm G$, slightly improving bounds coming from a stability requirement. While our simplified treatment of the WD structure implies that further studies are needed to reduce the systematic uncertainties, the estimates based on comparing the emissivities illustrate the potential of neutrino emission as a diagnostic tool to study the interior of WDs.

description: A contactless effective series resistance imaging method for large area perovskite solar cells that is based on photoluminescence imaging with non-uniform illumination is introduced and demonstrated experimentally. The proposed technique is applicable to partially and fully processed perovskite solar cells if laterally conductive layers are present. The capability of the proposed contactless method to detect features with high effective series resistance is validated by comparison with various contacted mode luminescence imaging techniques. The method can reliably provide information regarding the severeness of the detected series resistance through photo-excitation pattern manipulation. Application of the method to sub-cells in monolithic tandem devices, without the need for electrical contacting the terminals, appears feasible.

description: This paper studies $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories on an elliptic curve, with the aim to provide a physical realisation of recent constructions in equivariant elliptic cohomology of symplectic resolutions. We first study the Berry connection for supersymmetric ground states in the presence of mass parameters and flat connections for flavour symmetries, which results in a natural construction of the equivariant elliptic cohomology variety of the Higgs branch. We then investigate supersymmetric boundary conditions and show from an analysis of boundary 't Hooft anomalies that their boundary amplitudes represent equivariant elliptic cohomology classes. We analyse two distinguished classes of boundary conditions known as exceptional Dirichlet and enriched Neumann, which are exchanged under mirror symmetry. We show that the boundary amplitudes of the latter reproduce elliptic stable envelopes introduced by Aganagic-Okounkov, and relate boundary amplitudes of the mirror symmetry interface to the mother function in equivariant elliptic cohomology. Finally, we consider correlation functions of Janus interfaces for varying mass parameters, recovering the chamber R-matrices of elliptic integrable systems.

description: In Spring 2023, The Children’s Society’s Newcastle team commissioned Northumbria University to conduct an evaluation of their SCARPA (Safeguarding Children at Risk – Prevention and Action) service. SCARPA works across the whole of the North East region, supporting children and young people aged 10-18 who go missing and/or are at risk of or are victims of exploitation. This project involved a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including interviews with stakeholders and young people impacted by serious youth violence (SYV) and/or child criminal exploitation (CCE).This report presents a summary of our key findings in relation to the four project research aims:1. To develop a greater understanding of the changing picture of SYV/CCE in Newcastle and the North East of England.2. To evaluate the principles, approaches, models, and methods used by the Children’s Society’s SCARPA service to engage with young people affected by SYV/CCE.3. To assess the impact of the work of The Children’s Society’s SCARPA service on young people, families, communities, and services.4. To establish broader practice lessons about supporting young people affected by serious violence (practice standards in the North East).It concludes by identifying areas of good practice in the SCARPA service, recommendations on how they can further enhance their work in supporting young people impacted by CCE and SYV, as well as highlighting the implications of these research findings for broader regional and national practice.

description: Linear optical quantum computing is beset by the lack of deterministic entangling operations besides photon loss. Motivated by advancements at the experimental front in deterministic generation of various kinds of multiphoton entangled states, we propose an architecture for linear-optical quantum computing that harnesses the availability of three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Our architecture and its subvariants use polarized photons in GHZ states, polarization beam splitters, delay lines, optical switches and on-off detectors. We concatenate topological quantum error correction code with three-qubit repetition codes and estimate that our architecture can tolerate remarkably high photon-loss rate of $11.5 \%$; this makes a drastic change that is at least an order higher than those of known proposals. Further, considering three-photon GHZ states as resources, we estimate the resource overheads to perform gate operations with an accuracy of $10^{-6}~(10^{-15})$ to be $2.0\times10^6~(5.6\times10^7)$. Compared to other all-photonic schemes, our architecture is also resource-efficient. In addition, the resource overhead can be even further improved if larger GHZ states are available. Given its striking enhancement in the photon loss threshold and the recent progress in generating multiphoton entanglement, our scheme will make scalable photonic quantum computing a step closer to reality.

Spiking neural networks trained via proxy

description: We propose a new learning algorithm to train spiking neural networks (SNN) using conventional artificial neural networks (ANN) as proxy. We couple two SNN and ANN networks, respectively, made of integrate-and-fire (IF) and ReLU neurons with the same network architectures and shared synaptic weights. The forward passes of the two networks are totally independent. By assuming IF neuron with rate-coding as an approximation of ReLU, we backpropagate the error of the SNN in the proxy ANN to update the shared weights, simply by replacing the ANN final output with that of the SNN. We applied the proposed proxy learning to deep convolutional SNNs and evaluated it on two benchmarked datasets of Fashion-MNIST and Cifar10 with 94.56% and 93.11% classification accuracy, respectively. The proposed networks could outperform other deep SNNs trained with tandem learning, surrogate gradient learning, or converted from deep ANNs. Converted SNNs require long simulation times to reach reasonable accuracies while our proxy learning leads to efficient SNNs with much smaller simulation times. The source codes of the proposed method are publicly available at https://github.com/SRKH/ProxyLearning.
Challenges to observation of many-body localization

description: We study time dynamics of 1D disordered Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain focusing on a regime of large system sizes and a long time evolution. This regime is relevant for observation of many-body localization (MBL), a phenomenon that is expected to freeze the dynamics of the system and prevent it from reaching thermal equilibrium. Performing extensive numerical simulations of the imbalance, a quantity often employed in the experimental studies of MBL, we show that the regime of a slow power-law decay of imbalance persists to disorder strengths exceeding by at least a factor of 2 the current estimates of the critical disorder strength for MBL. Even though we investigate time evolution up to few thousands tunneling times, we observe no signs of the saturation of imbalance that would suggest freezing of system dynamics and provide a smoking gun evidence of MBL. We demonstrate that the situation is qualitatively different when the disorder is replaced by a quasiperiodic potential. In this case, we observe an emergence of a pattern of oscillations of the imbalance that is stable with respect to changes in the system size. This suggests that the dynamics of quasiperiodic systems remain fully local at the longest time scales we reach provided that the quasiperiodic potential is sufficiently strong. Our study identifies challenges in an unequivocal experimental observation of the phenomenon of MBL.

description: Topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) is a hallmark response of the topological field theory, which provides a paradigm shift in the study of emergent topological phenomena. However, its direct observation is yet to be realized due to the demanding magnetic configuration required to gap all the surface states. Here, we theoretically propose that the axion insulators with a simple ferromagnetic configuration, such as MnBi2Te4/(Bi2Te3)n family, provide an ideal playground to realize TME. In a designed triangular prism geometry, all the surface states are magnetically gapped. Under a vertical electric field, the surface Hall currents give rise to a nearly half-quantized orbital moment, accompanied with a gapless chiral hinge mode circulating parallelly. Thus, the orbital magnetization from the two topological origins can be easily distinguished by reversing the electric field. Our work paves a new avenue towards the direct observation of TME in realistic axion-insulator materials.
