description: Sosemanuk is a new synchronous software-oriented stream cipher, corresponding to Profile 1 of the ECRYPT call for stream cipher primitives. Its key length is variable between 128 and 256 bits. It ac- commodates a 128-bit initial value. Any key length is claimed to achieve 128-bit security. The Sosemanuk cipher uses both some basic design principles from the stream cipher SNOW 2.0 and some transformations derived from the block cipher SERPENT. Sosemanuk aims at improv- ing SNOW 2.0 both from the security and from the efficiency points of view. Most notably, it uses a faster IV-setup procedure. It also requires a reduced amount of static data, yielding better performance on several architectures.
Sonata #3 for Solo Piano "The Dodecahedral Sonata" (PART 9)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The Piano Sonata #3 (Named the “Dodecahedral Sonata” because of its 12-parts or “sides”) was written in June 2013 for NYC pianist Ishmael Wallace, over the course of ~48 hours. Over the last decade and a half, the composer struggled to complete a full solo piano sonata, attempting several times. While attempts had been made in the late 1990s and early 2000s to write such a piece, it wasn't until 2008, with the Piano Sonata #1, that a serious undertaking was made. This first sonata was (inspired by) and composed after hearing a piano work commissioned for Elliot Carter played on the radio by Chicago pianist Winston Choi. Unfortunately, only 25 pages of this one-movement sonata were completed, and by 2013, the manuscript had been misplaced. In the Spring of 2013, the Piano Sonata #2 was begun around the 100th Anniversary of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” Premiere --a homage to Stravinsky's work. Six pages were composed of this next sonata (the “Uncontrolled Sonata”), after which the composer’s notation software malfunctioned. Soon after, the composer had a conversation with his friend, the pianist Ishmael Wallace. After this conversation about compositional styles with Mr. Wallace, which took place on a Wednesday (June 5th), two days later, on Friday, June 7th, the composer began working on the Piano Sonata #3, which is presented here, and completed the 12-part work by that same Sunday, June 9th. Each part has a distinct flavor to it; Part 10, the shortest of all the composer’s works, consists of “10-note” multi-dimensional 16th note in one measure. Though performers and critics might find this “gimmicky,” it’s meant to express the various forms of musical expression in the complexity of the sonata form, and how it has been altered, augmented, and re-created in this present work. Part 12 is a recapitulation, almost identical to Part 1 with slightly broader complexity of notation, and both the first and last sections are to be performed with bold and sweeping power. As with most of the composer’s works, minimalism in dynamics and articulation offers performers a greater sense of freedom and flexibility of interpretation.

description: We compare assembly of DM halos with and without baryons, within the context of cosmological evolution in the LCDM WMAP3 Universe (baryons+DM, BDM model, and pure DM, PDM model). In representative PDM and BDM models we find that baryons contribute decisively to the evolution of the central region, leading to an isothermal DM cusp, and to a flat DM density core -- the result of heating by dynamical friction of the substructure during a quiescent evolution epoch. This process ablates the cold gas from an embedded disk, cutting the star formation rate by ~10, and heats up the spheroidal gas and stellar components, triggering their expansion. The substructure is more resilient in the presence of baryons. The disk which formed from inside-out as gas dominated, is transformed into an intermediate Hubble type by z ~ 2 and to an early type by z ~ 0.5, based on its gas contents and spheroidal-to-disk stellar mass ratio. Only a relatively small ~20% fraction of DM particles in PDM and BDM models are bound within the radius of maximal circular velocity in the halo -- most of the DM particles perform larger radial excursions. We also find that the fraction of baryons within the halo virial radius somewhat increases during the major mergers and decreases during the minor mergers. The net effect appears to be negligible. While the substructure is being tidally-disrupted, mixing of its debris in the halo is not efficient and becomes even less so with z. The streamers formed after z ~ 1 survive largely to the present time -- an important implication for embedded disk evolution.

description: The transition to PCR-based diagnosis of bacterial gastroenteritis (BGE) can increase the sensitivity but might reduce the clinical specificity. The aims of this study were (1) to compare the effect of the change from culture to PCR-based diagnostics on the reported incidence and positivity rates of BGE due to Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter species and (2) to compare the demographics, medical background, clinical characteristics and pre-analytic variables between cases with PCR-positive, culture-negative samples to cases with PCR-positive, culture-positive samples. The study was performed at the Emek Medical Centre that serves a population of 0.5 million people in Northern Israel. The study included two parts: (1) a retrospective cohort study, comparing the incidence and positivity rates of laboratory-diagnosed BGE from January 2016 until December 22nd, 2019 when culture was the sole method to January 2020 until April 2023 when PCR was used; (2) a prospective cohort study, conducted between November 2020 until April 2023 that compared the demographics and clinical characteristics of BGE cases that were diagnosed by PCR alone versus cases that were diagnosed by both PCR and culture. The incidence rate between-periods comparability ratio was only 113% since the incidence rate did not increase during 2020, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample positivity rate increased since 2020, with between-periods comparability ratio of 159%. In the second period, the sample positivity rates of culture vs. PCR alone differed between the pathogens and were 90.2%, 63.8% and 54.2% for Salmonella, Campylobacter and Shigella species, respectively (p < 0.001). The following variables were identified as independent predictors of culture positivity: (1) Salmonella infection (O.R. = 10.6, 95% C.I. 3.6–31.1, p < 0.001); (2) Shigella infection (O.R. = 0.46, 95% C.I.0.23–0.93, p = 0.032); (3) time from sample submission to culture (O.R.=0.73, 95% C.I. 0.58–0.92, p = 0.008); (4) the presence of abdominal pain (O.R. = 1.98, 95% C.I. 1.04–3.79, p = 0.038) and the PCR mean Ct value (O.R. = 0.89, 95% C.I.0.85–0.94, p < 0.001). The use of PCR had led to improved sensitivity, without noticeable decrease in the clinical specificity. This was especially important in the case of the more fastidious organisms.

description: Bio-inspired layered ceramic-polymer composites with high strength and toughness were prepared from sintered aluminum oxide ceramic sheets and cationically curing epoxy resins toughened with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). The architecture of the composite is inspired by nacre but is arranged on a larger scale. Ceramic sheets with a nominal thickness of 250 μm were assembled into composite plates by adhesive layers with a nominal thickness of 20 μm. Before the manufacturing of the composites, the stress-strain properties of the polymer component were tailored by the variation in the PCL content between 0 and 39 wt%. For composites with 4 and 15 ceramic layers, the bending strengths achieved 327 MPa and 376 MPa, which are higher than that of pure ceramic sheets. Moreover, composites with 15 ceramic layers show a 16 times higher toughness compared to that of the pure ceramic sheets. The results indicate that the toughness of the layered composites increases significantly with the number of layers. Inspired by the geometrical ratio of the natural sheet composite nacre, we have achieved a similar strength but a 2 times higher toughness than nacre by only adding up to 6 vol% of the polymer.

description: Controlling the feature sizes of 3D bicontinuous nanoporous (3DNP) materials is essential for their advanced applications in catalysis, sensing, energy systems, etc., requiring high specific surface area. However, the intrinsic coarsening of nanoporous materials naturally reduces their surface energy leading to the deterioration of physical properties over time, even at ambient temperatures. A novel 3DNP material beating the universal relationship of thermal coarsening is reported via high-entropy alloy (HEA) design. In newly developed TiVNbMoTa 3DNP HEAs, the nanoporous structure is constructed by very fine nanoscale ligaments of a solid-solution phase due to enhanced phase stability by maximizing the configuration entropy and suppressed surface diffusion. The smallest size of 3DNP HEA synthesized at 873 K is about 10 nm, which is one order of magnitude smaller than that of conventional porous materials. More importantly, the yield strength of ligament in 3DNP HEA approaches its theoretical strength of G/2π of the corresponding HEA alloy even after thermal exposure. This finding signifies the key benefit of high-entropy design in nanoporous materials—exceptional stability of size-related physical properties. This high-entropy strategy should thus open new opportunities for developing ultrastable nanomaterials against its environment.

Reducing Over-Potentials in Lithium-Oxygen Batteries Using Iridium and Reduced Graphene Oxide Cathodes
Creators: name: Plunkett, Samuel Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The focus of this dissertation was to characterize the electrochemical mechanisms and discharge products present in Li-O2 batteries containing iridium and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based cathodes. These novel materials are used to stabilize the lithium superoxide (LiO2) reaction intermediate and prevent chemical disproportionation to the more common lithium peroxide (Li2O2) discharge product. Strong lattice matching between iridium-based catalyst surfaces and LiO2 increases the activation barrier of LiO2 disproportionation to Li2O2. Stabilizing LiO2 as the discharge product results in lower battery charge overpotentials due to the substantially higher electronic conductivity of LiO2, compared to Li2O2, which is a bulk insulator.

description: This paper presents a new concept to integrate mechanical surface treatment into the build process of additive manufacturing (AM). The layer-based build process during Selective Laser Melting (SLM) allows for accessing the single layers before continuing the addition of further layers above the mechanically treated surfaces. Deep rolling is applied to enhance the Surface Integrity into depths of several SLM-layers (450 μm) before the part is re-integrated into the SLM-process. The hardness alterations and increased full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) are preserved after continuing the AM-process. The results reveal the potential to generate material-internal reinforced domains and thus enhance the Material Integrity after AM.

description: The interaction between a superconducting phase qubit and the two-level systems locating inside the Josephson tunnel barrier is shown to be described by the XY model, which is naturally used to implement the iSWAP gate. With this gate, we propose a scheme to efficiently generate genuine multi-qubit entangled states of such two-level systems, including multipartite W state and cluster states. In particularly, we show that, with the help of the phase qubit, the entanglement witness can be used to efficiently detect the produced genuine multi-qubit entangled states. Furthermore, we analyze that the proposed approach for generating multi-qubit entangled states can be used in a wide class of candidates for quantum computation.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Mobile devices have become more and more popular, and the services have grown in number and range. Ready access to the Internet is one of the characteristics of mobile devices which delivers significant value for their users. However, the users are also concerned about costs and other factors related to this access. This research tries to explore the trade-off between the desirable and the undesirable outcomes of data access to find out if it is possible to maintain the mobile user's satisfaction derived from the connectivity attributes for a single data-transfer task while lowering the concerns that come from the other issues, including cost of the access and battery life of the device. A simulation study is used in this research to determine if it is feasible to conduct such a trade-off.

description: A study was made of two glucomannans, one isolated by alkaline borate extraction of Sitka spruce wood and the second from black spruce. These were methylated by the Hakomori procedure employing sodium hydride in dimethyl sulfoxide. Considerable experimentation was done to determine the best conditions for methylation and to demonstrate the utility and practicability of analysis by these methods. Some inferences regarding the structure of the glucomannans are drawn from the methylation data.
Challenges of mainstreaming climate change adaptation in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Begum, K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Adaptation is a policy instrument for facing the challenges posed by climate change. Government pursues adaptation in different ways aside from simply creating awareness about climate change and its effects. It makes rules for changing behaviour and practices which include National Action Plans, building codes, standardisations and so forth; provides loans to the affected communities, facilitates insurances, takes measures to correct market imperfections and grants financial incentives or discourages a specific behaviour through taxation; and strengthens institutional capacity, develops skills, supplies emergency relief and arranges rehabilitation, as well as constructing physical infrastructures, and repairing and maintaining the existing ones. These initiatives require additional resources and efforts which the developing countries, the most vulnerable to climate change, are unable to afford. For this reason, government needs to mainstream adaptation into their development planning and programs including the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Mainstreaming involves a number of challenges, most of which are related to policy instruments, such as lack of awareness and knowledge sharing, resource shortages, organisational inefficiencies, and ineffective regulations. Bangladesh being a developing country and climatically the most vulnerable, has undertaken various policy measures for adaptation and its mainstreaming. This study has made an effort to identify the challenges associated with the adaptation mainstreaming endeavours in Bangladesh. Also, it ultimately offers a number of suggestions for overcoming these obstacles.

description: In this paper we provide an extensive analysis of the global dynamics of high-area-to-mass ratios geosynchronous (GEO) space debris, applying a recent technique developed by Cincotta et al. (2000), Mean Exponential Growth factor of Nearby Orbits (MEGNO), which provides an efficient tool to investigate both regular and chaotic components of the phase space. We compute a stability atlas, for a large set of near-geosynchronous space debris by numerically computing the MEGNO indicator, to provide an accurate understanding of the location of stable and unstable orbits as well as the timescale of their exponential divergence in case of chaotic motion. The results improve the analysis presented in Breiter et al. (2005a) notably by considering the particular case of high-area-to-mass ratios space debris. The results indicate that chaotic orbits region can be highly relevant, especially for very high area-to-mass ratios. Then, we provide some numerical investigations and an analytical theory which lead to a detailed understanding of the resonance structures appearing in the phase space. These analyses bring to the fore a relevant class of secondary resonances on both sides of the well-known pendulum-like pattern of geostationary space debris, leading to complex dynamics of such objects.

description: This setting of the Lord's Prayer (The "Our Father"/"Padre Nuestro") was composed using one of the Latin American Spanish versions of the prayer. The intent was to compose a medieval sounding choral work with contemporary language, while creating various tonal overlays--both from the sounds of the Spanish language and the sung notes. The weave between ancient and modern is meant to create a synthesis of sound, and convey newness, growth, and the future, while recognizing our reliance on the past. Spanish was chosen, as the language spoken by one of the largest populations of Christians.

The large acceptance STAR detector has collected ~3k minimum bias collisions during this test run. The azimuthal anisotropy, identified particle spectra, particle ratios and HBT radii are observed to be consistent with the previous measurements from CERN SPS at similar center of mass energies. These results from the lowest collision energy at RHIC demonstrate the STAR detector's readiness to collect high quality data for the proposed Critical Point Search Program which allows us to explore the QCD phase diagram.

description: We show that lightly doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+y}$ has multiple holon pockets with different areas, which lead to multiple frequencies of magnetic quantum oscillations. Using neutron scattering data on incommensurate spin ordering we determine these areas, which yields frequencies in good agreement with experiments. Divergence of the effective mass observed in magnetic quantum oscillations indicates a quantum phase transition at the oxygen content $y\approx 0.48$. We argue that the transition is the onset of quasistatic incommensurate magnetic order predicted by theory and observed in neutron scattering.

Christmas Oratorio "Nativitatis Christi" (PART 3: Benedictus, 50 pp.)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Music

description: The Christmas Oratorio “Nativitatis Christi” was written mostly in the Fall of 2011. The first four parts were written in September and October of 2011 (including the Organ Prelude), while the latter parts were begun in the Spring of 2012. As of July 2013, the oratorio is incomplete, with at least three more sections to be written (in Swahili-French, Russian, and German). The Oratorio was written for the diverse community of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. The texts of the Oratorio are biblical, but are in different languages, including Latin, Greek, English, French, Swahili, Russian, and German. The Magnificat is a work, which is meant to convey the high church tradition of Latin liturgy, while the Benedictus is a blessing meant to encompass the divergence and convergence of church traditions (Soprani (“High” Church language)=Latin, Bass (“Low” Common language)=English, Central Voices of Tenor/Alti=Greek, the ancient foundational language used here, anchoring the tradition and the music to a pivot point). The other parts of this work have similar explanations, which will be provided when available in Academic Commons. This third part is for mixed chorus and organ. (NB: the final measure of the organ part may be muted with its dissonance.)
John Watt Beattie and the Beattie collections

description: John Watt Beattie was a well known member of Hobart society who owned a successful photographic studio and travelled widely around Tasmania photographing not only scenery in the wilderness but also buildings, and people including Aborigines. His photographs became an important record of his times and are still reproduced in publications and available in museum records and institutions such as the National Library in Canberra. His competence as a photographer was recognised with his appointment as official state photographer, and his photographs were used as the basis for the design of a number of Tasmanian postage stamps. He mixed with the elite being a member of the Royal Society of Tasmania, the Field Naturalist's Club and the Minerva Club and was a founding member of the Tasmanian Tourism Board. Beattie is still considered an important creator of images of Tasmania's past, but he also played a major role in providing significant contributions to the historic items in the possession of both the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart. His collections, which came into these two institutions in 1927 and 1933 respectively, involved combinations of disinterest, interest, acclaim and dissatisfaction in the processes involved in their purchase and exhibition.
Evolution in the structural properties of early-type Brightest Cluster Galaxies at small lookback time and dependence on the environment

description: At the present time, SDSS early-type BCGs have larger Re than early-type galaxies of similar L, whether these other objects are in the field, or are satellites in clusters (Re ~ L for BCGs). At fixed M* and formation time, BCGs at lower z are larger and have smaller velocity dispersions, i.e. Re increases and sigma decreases with age. As a result, at z~0.25, corresponding to a lookback time of order 3 Gyrs, BCGs are smaller than their lower z counterparts by as much as 70% for the brightest BCGs: Re evolves as (1+z)^{0.85(Mr+21)}. Qualitatively similar but weaker evolution in the sizes is also seen in the bulk of the early-type population: at Mr-22 the evolution is approximately (1+z)^{-0.7}, independent of Mr. The sigma-L correlation also evolves: (1+z)^{-0.2(Mr+21)} at Mr < -22 (as for the BCGs) and (1+z)^{0.2} for fainter galaxies. The Re- and sigma-M* correlations yield consistent results. These trends are most easily understood if early-type BCGs grew from many dry minor mergers rather than a few major mergers. Only in such a scenario can BCGs be the descendents of the superdense galaxies seen at z~2; major dry mergers, which increase the size in proportion to the mass, cannot bring these galaxies onto the BCG Re-M* relation at z~0. We also compared the ages and sizes of our early-type BCGs with satellites. BCGs are larger than satellites of similar L or M* at the same redshift. Although both satellites and BCGs trace the same weak age-L or age-M* relation, this can be understood by noting that BCGs are typically about 1 Gyr older than the satellites in their group, and they are about 0.5 mags more luminous. Finally, we find that the mean satellite L is approximately independent of BCG L, in agreement with recent predictions based on the L-dependence of clustering.

Sonata #3 for Solo Piano "The Dodecahedral Sonata" (PART 4)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The Piano Sonata #3 (Named the “Dodecahedral Sonata” because of its 12-parts or “sides”) was written in June 2013 for NYC pianist Ishmael Wallace, over the course of ~48 hours. Over the last decade and a half, the composer struggled to complete a full solo piano sonata, attempting several times. While attempts had been made in the late 1990s and early 2000s to write such a piece, it wasn't until 2008, with the Piano Sonata #1, that a serious undertaking was made. This first sonata was (inspired by) and composed after hearing a piano work commissioned for Elliot Carter played on the radio by Chicago pianist Winston Choi. Unfortunately, only 25 pages of this one-movement sonata were completed, and by 2013, the manuscript had been misplaced. In the Spring of 2013, the Piano Sonata #2 was begun around the 100th Anniversary of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” Premiere --a homage to Stravinsky's work. Six pages were composed of this next sonata (the “Uncontrolled Sonata”), after which the composer’s notation software malfunctioned. Soon after, the composer had a conversation with his friend, the pianist Ishmael Wallace. After this conversation about compositional styles with Mr. Wallace, which took place on a Wednesday (June 5th), two days later, on Friday, June 7th, the composer began working on the Piano Sonata #3, which is presented here, and completed the 12-part work by that same Sunday, June 9th. Each part has a distinct flavor to it; Part 10, the shortest of all the composer’s works, consists of “10-note” multi-dimensional 16th note in one measure. Though performers and critics might find this “gimmicky,” it’s meant to express the various forms of musical expression in the complexity of the sonata form, and how it has been altered, augmented, and re-created in this present work. Part 12 is a recapitulation, almost identical to Part 1 with slightly broader complexity of notation, and both the first and last sections are to be performed with bold and sweeping power. As with most of the composer’s works, minimalism in dynamics and articulation offers performers a greater sense of freedom and flexibility of interpretation.

Structural and synthetic studies of alkaloids of the Proteaceae
Creators: name: Gillard, John Walter
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Following the discovery of the presence of alkaloids in an endemic Tasmanian Proteaceous species, Bellendena montana R.BR., a detailed phytochemical examination for alkaloids has been undertaken. In addition, three other species of the Proteaceae, Darlingia darlingiana (F. MUELL) L.A.S. JOHNSON, Darlingia ferruginea, J.F. BAILEY, and Agastachys odorata R.BR., also found to contain alkaloids, have been subjected to a similar examination. This study has resulted in the isolation of fifteen alkaloids, of which twelve have been structurally identified by spectroscopy and synthesis. The structures of the bases have been shown to be derivatives of the tropane class; eight alkaloids with novel structures have been classified in two new tropane categories, those of y-pyronotropanes and 2-benzoyl tropanes. Use has been made of proton magnetic resonance and carbon magnetic resonance spectroscopy in determining relative stereochemistries of the bases, and a discussion of the 13C N.M.R. of y-pyrones is given. Two stereochemical series of tropane diol esters have been prepared and the spectroscopic data relating to these bases are presented. A general synthetic procedure has been developed to apply to the y-pyronotropanes; each of the naturally occurring alkaloids has been synthesized by a condensation between tropan-3-one and an enol ether derivative of a ˜í‚â§-keto acid chloride. The probable biogenetic relationships between the alkaloids of the species under study and those recently described, of Knightia deplanchei VIEILL. ex BROGN et GRIS (Proteaceae) are described in terms of a biosynthesis from ornithine and a polyketide chain terminated with a non-acetate moiety.

description: The concept of separation by hyperplanes is fundamental for convex geometry and its tropical (max-plus) analogue. However, analogous separation results in max-min convex geometry are based on semispaces. This paper answers the question which semispaces are hyperplanes and when it is possible to classically separate by hyperplanes in max-min convex geometry.

description: Additional file 2: Figure S2. Individual pixel-pigment analysis of mucus staining of tissue samples revealed a distinctly higher abundance of pixels in the lower range of the pigment spectrum (darker colors, blue and purple) in GOS-fed old animals, compared to young or control-fed old animals (a). Pigment-specific histograms of the RGB image files were generated using ImageJ software, revealing differences between samples in the abundance of pixels in each image, as well as providing quantification of pixels within each pigment range (b). Ratios between epithelial and mucosal pixels were calculated and used in determining the fold change in pigment between specific pairs of animals, Old animals GOS vs Control diets, Young animals GOS vs Control diets, Old animals vs Young animals feeding on control diet, and finally Old animals vs Young animals feeding on GOS diet (c). Mucus fold change was calculated for each animal compared to Young animals fed control diet (d).

description: We report high-pressure induced superconductivity in boron nanowires (BNWs) with rhombohedral crystal structure. Obviously different from bulk rhombohedral boron, these BNWs show a semiconductor-metal transition at much lower pressure than bulk boron. Also, we found these BNWs become superconductors with Tc=1.5 K at 84 GPa, at the pressure of which bulk boron is still a semiconductor, via in-situ resistance measurements in a diamond anvil cell. With increasing pressure, Tc of the BNWs increases. The occurrence of superconductivity in the BNWs at a pressure as low as 84 GPa probably arises from the size effect.

description: We introduce the concept of generalized concatenated quantum codes. This generalized concatenation method provides a systematical way for constructing good quantum codes, both stabilizer codes and nonadditive codes. Using this method, we construct families of new single-error-correcting nonadditive quantum codes, in both binary and nonbinary cases, which not only outperform any stabilizer codes for finite block length, but also asymptotically achieve the quantum Hamming bound for large block length.

Depression and anti-depressive behaviour : an investigation of the natural self-regulation of depression
Creators: name: Dingwall, Marie Therese
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Clear descriptions of depression as a clinical entity exist, as do models concerning its aetiology, maintenance and treatment. A review suggested that current experimental-clinical models function as means of ordering data and stimulating research rather than providing an essential model or method to be followed exclusively. Little research of a naturalistic nature has been undertaken. The aim of the current study was to investigate the naturally occurring, self regulatory behaviours that people engage in when feeling depressed. Hypotheses were advanced concerning the number, frequency of use and helpfulness of anti-depressive behaviours. The utility of anti-depressive behaviour in relation to level of depression, length of hospitalization and social adjustment was also examined. The sample consisted of twenty-five hospitalized depressed people and twenty-five individually matched controls, interviewed twice, using the Anti-depressive Activity Questionnaire (Rippere, 1976). Results indicated that all subjects recognized and attempted to do something to control their depression. The frequency of engaging in anti-depressive behaviour was a persistent factor and did not differentiate between groups. The helpfulness of anti-depressive behaviour was related to levels of depression in that moderately depressed subjects reported anti-depressive behaviour to be less helpful than they did when not depressed. Overall findings were discussed within a self efficacy model of behaviour. Treatment implications were in accord with existing cognitive/behavioural methods involving the scheduling of activities.

Economic development

description: Against the backdrop of Ukraine’s EU accession perspective, the study analyses Ukraine’s regional industrial structures, focusing on areas of potential growth and vulnerability. Its objective is to pinpoint strategies for the most efficient and sustainable economic recovery, aligning Ukraine’s rebuilding and integration into the EU single market. The structural and growth-promoting industrial policy measures we identify emphasise the necessity of tailoring reconstruction and modernisation to regional disparities, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Success hinges on a “building back better” strategy that considers absorption capacity. The EU plays a crucial role in guiding this process, so that Ukraine’s effective integration into the bloc can succeed.
