title: Good enough care? Looking after sexually abused young people in residential settings
Creators: name: Roesch-Marsh, Autumn
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2005

description: Sexual abuse in childhood is a traumatic and damaging experience that can have a range of effects for young people as they grow and develop. These can include increased risk of mental health difficulties such as depression and anxiety, psychological symptoms such as low self-esteem and guilt, and problem behaviours such as substance misuse (Avery, Massat & Lundy, 2000; Cotgrove & Kolvin, 1994; Haggerty, Sherwood, Garmezy & Rutter, 1996; Mental Health Foundation, 1999; Richardson & Joughin, 2000). A range of research has assessed the impact of sexual abuse and interventions which have been used to help protect against or alleviate resulting symptoms (Finkelhor & Berliner, 1995; Monck et al., 1996; Stevenson, 1999). Central to many of these studies has been the finding that involving the non-abusing parents of sexually abused children in any treatment approach greatly improves outcomes (Deblinger & Heflin 1996; Finkelhor & Berliner, 1995; Karp, Butler & Bergstrom, 1998). While many sexually abused young people remain in the care of their families, a significant number will be placed in substitute care settings. In such settings, opportunities for treatment may be influenced by a greater range of factors and will likely involve a wider range of professionals with less input from family members (Farmer & Pollock, 1998).

description: We study the phenomenon of migration of the small molecular weight component of a binary polymer mixture to the free surface using mean field and self-consistent field theories. By proposing a free energy functional that incorporates polymer-matrix elasticity explicitly, we compute the migrant volume fraction and show that it decreases significantly as the sample rigidity is increased. Estimated values of the bulk modulus suggest that the effect should be observable experimentally for rubber-like materials. This provides a simple way of controlling surface migration in polymer mixtures and can play an important role in industrial formulations, where surface migration often leads to decreased product functionality.

X-ray Spectroscopy at Mercury with the Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer

Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In December 2025, the joint ESA and JAXA BepiColombo spacecraft will enter orbit around Mercury to begin a two-year mission. Among the 16 instruments aboard BepiColombo is the Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (MIXS), which offers high-resolution (~10 km per pixel) imaging capabilities for low-energy (0-10 keV) X-ray photons. This information will be used to determine the elemental composition of Mercury’s surface. The novel imaging capability, requires a new data analysis method to help maximise the instrument’s science return. In order to prepare for this, a ground-reference facility (GREF) has been built and the first tests of its performance are reported here, demonstrating that this facility is ready to enable further characterisation and calibration of the instrument and data analysis methods in the coming years. This thesis presents the initial work done to develop and test a new “fundamental parameters” model for X-ray fluorescence. Testing the model against laboratory data from the GREF revealed the next steps in the development of both the model and the ground testing needed to demonstrate that it will meet the scientific goals of MIXS. MIXS requires solar flares for high-resolution imaging, therefore targets of particular scientific interest need to be prioritised, to avoid valuable data being deleted onboard the spacecraft, due to mission-level telemetry constraints. Prioritisation began with cataloguing Mercurian complex craters, revealing a correlation between peak-ring basins and the high-magnesium terrane (HMT), implying the basins may be responsible for the elevated magnesium/silicon ratio. Investigating the correlation determined a list of fifteen targets that MIXS should prioritise, in order to demonstrate whether the correlation is indicative of causality or not. MIXS will determine the composition of basin features, improving our understanding of the origin of the HMT, a feature on Mercury’s surface that is the source of much debate in the community.
The juxtaposition of styles in the metopes of the Athenian treasury

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: French archeologists uncovered thirty metopes belonging to the Athenian Treasury scattered in the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi between 1893 and 1894. According to Pausanias the Athenians commissioned the Treasury to celebrate their victory over the Persians at the battle of Marathon in 490 BCE. The sculptures depict myths about the labors, of the Pan-Hellenic hero, Herakles, and tasks of the Athenian newcomer, Theseus. The metopes contain stylistic elements from multiple geographic locations and both the Late Archaic and Early Classical periods. The visual evidence challenges the scholarly assumption that Late Archaic artists were incapable of experimentation through the integration, combination and juxtaposition of multiple styles. The advanced state of the Late Archaic style during the 480s indicates the large artistic repertoire to which the commissioners, planners, and sculptors would have been exposed. This paper examines elements in seven of the metopes that indicate experimentations by the artists of the Athenian Treasury.

description: A transient and high sensitivity sensor based on high-Q microcavity is proposed and studied theoretically. There are two ways to realize the transient sensor: monitor the spectrum by fast scanning of probe laser frequency or monitor the transmitted light with fixed laser frequency. For both methods, the non-equilibrium response not only tells the ultrafast environment variance, but also enable higher sensitivity. As examples of application, the transient sensor for nanoparticles adhering and passing by the microcavity is studied. It's demonstrated that the transient sensor can sense coupling region, external linear variation together with the speed and the size of a nanoparticle. We believe that our researches will open a door to the fast dynamic sensing by microcavity.

Year: 2002

description: Nineteen volumes of National Care Standards were issued by the Scottish Executive in the Spring of 2002. The two volumes which are most relevant and important for residential child care owners, staff, children and young people and their parents, are the Standards relating to 'Care Homes for Children and Young People' (Scottish Executive, 2002a) and 'School Care Accommodation Services' (Scottish Executive, 2002b). It is extremely important that units and schools familiarise themselves with the standards and audit their services against them; they are the tool that will be used by the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (the Care Commission) when it registers and inspects services. It is therefore vital that we celebrate the major step forward which the Standards represent for looked after and accommodated children and other children living away from home.

description: Unique quantitative sensory testing methods and associated testing apparatus developed by Tommerdahl et. al. have enabled objective evaluation of intra-cortical communication mechanisms, which appears to be sensitive to neurologic disorders that impair normal sensory function. The proposed non-invasive diagnostic procedure enabling objective assessment of the status of the glia in sensory cortex of a patient has the potential for significant impact in the fields of gerontology, toxicology, and general medicine in the way of autism and chronic pain diagnosis, and acute head injury assessment. A central aim of this project is efficient storage of data obtained from disparate research locations into a centralized database, accessible to all researchers utilizing this same testing method and apparatus. Due to its aggregate nature of many different data sources, this ontological database will allow for invaluable data mining across a growing population of subject and patient observations.

description: Many micropalaeontological studies rely on merging data from different sources. Apart from accessibility issues and a myriad of different data formats, reusability is hindered because micropalaeontological data are semantically complex. This is because of the existence of different taxonomic schools and evolving taxonomic insights, which both render standardisation difficult. As a consequence reusing micropalaentological data is cumbersome, even when they are findable, accessible and interoperable. Moreover, semantic complexity leads to confusion and archiving errors, further complicating data reusability. Within the framework of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) we aim to develop tools and processing pipelines to harmonise taxonomic data. Here we report on common problems associated with the standardisation of taxonomic data identified in a large number of micropalaeontological datasets publicly available at PANGAEA. We present possible solutions to increase the reusability of legacy data and propose guidelines for archiving of new datasets. This poster is intended as a starting point for discussion. Our assessment focussed on planktonic foraminifera because of the relatively simple taxonomy of this group. However, we explicitly invite feedback from all data generators and data users from the micropalaeontological community to discuss solutions that work for everyone and can be applied across different taxonomic groups and different research fields.

description: L’idée que les discours du gouvernement Harper représenteraient une rupture fondamentale par rapport à la mythologie nationale établie est répandue dans les discours populaires et universitaires. Selon ces perspectives, une ancienne mythologie canadienne, exemplifiée par les symboles du multiculturalisme et du maintien de la paix, serait animée par l’idéal d’une ouverture exceptionnelle à la diversité. En contraste, la nouvelle symbolique conservatrice serait monolithiquement britannique, monarchique, impérialiste, et raciste. Ce penchant sur la question d’une telle rupture, cette thèse doctorale offre une analyse systématique des discours historiques du gouvernement fédéral, par lesquels l’ancienne mythologie nationale s’est ancrée dans l’imaginaire canadien. À la lumière d’une telle analyse, la nature et l’ampleur des continuités et ruptures entre ancienne et nouvelle mythologies sont évaluées. Du point de vue théorique, cette thèse innove en développant un concept apte à cerner les limites de ces deux systèmes symboliques mythologiques en ce qui a trait à leurs ouvertures relatives à la diversité. Adoptant comme point de départ la biopolitique foucaldienne et les conceptions poststructuralistes de l’identité/différence, la bioculture s’en distingue en étant sensible à la possibilité que les discours identitaires reconnaissent l’importance centrale de la diversité pour assurer l’optimisation de mécanismes adaptifs culturels, de façon analogue aux processus de la biologie évolutive. Une telle grille d’intelligibilité, qui appréhende la culture comme le résultat de la tension entre dynamiques autotransgressive et autopréservative, nous permet de répondre à notre questionnement sur la symbolique nationale.

description: Gravitational waves are expected to be radiated by supermassive black hole binaries formed during galaxy mergers. A stochastic superposition of gravitational waves from all such binary systems will modulate the arrival times of pulses from radio pulsars. Using observations of millisecond pulsars obtained with the Parkes radio telescope, we constrain the characteristic amplitude of this background, $A_{\rm c,yr}$, to be < $1.0\times10^{-15}$ with 95% confidence. This limit excludes predicted ranges for $A_{\rm c,yr}$ from current models with 91-99.7% probability. We conclude that binary evolution is either stalled or dramatically accelerated by galactic-center environments, and that higher-cadence and shorter-wavelength observations would result in an increased sensitivity to gravitational waves.

description: Sedimentary microfossil assemblage data can provide a crucial baseline of biodiversity prior to human influence, reveal species turnover dynamics across time scales inaccessible using direct observations and are essential for quantitative palaeoclimatology. Many micropalaeontological studies rely on merging data from different sources. This merging requires that the data are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, i.e. comply with the FAIR data principles. As a community we are in the favourable position that data sharing through established repositories is common practice. However, challenges remain to make micropalaeontological data truly fair: data sets need additional information (metadata) in order to streamline reusability. In addition, the biggest challenge to reusability is the semantically complex nature of species assemblage data. This is because of the existence of different taxonomic schools and evolving taxonomic insights, which both render standardisation difficult. As a consequence reusing micropalaeontological data is cumbersome, even when they are findable, accessible and interoperable. Moreover, semantic complexity leads to confusion and archiving errors, further hampering data reusability. Thus, to make micropalaeontological data FAIRer, we, as a community, need data standards to increase the value of our data and to make our science reproducible. Within the framework of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) we are developing tools and processing pipelines to harmonise taxonomic data. At the same time we are starting a community engagement process to collectively define micropalaeontological data requirements. To this end we invite you to take part in a survey. As an illustration of why we need data standards, we here report on common problems associated with the standardisation of taxonomic data identified in a large number of micropalaeontological datasets publicly available at PANGAEA. Our assessment focussed on planktonic foraminifera because of the relatively simple taxonomy of this group. However, we explicitly invite feedback from all data generators and data users from the micropalaeontological community to discuss solutions that work for everyone and can be applied across different taxonomic groups and different research fields.

Assessment of fruit and vegetables intake with biomarkers in children and adolescents and their level of validation: A systematic review

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Nutrition
subject: Life Sciences

description: Diets rich in fruit and vegetables have been inversely associated with risk of obesity and chronic diseases, but risk estimates are often lower than expected. One reason is that accurate assessment of fruit and vegetable intake is still a challenge, particularly in studies investigating children. Biomarkers in human biospecimens can provide objective indicators of fruit and vegetable intake and ultimately facilitate to understand the health benefits of fruit and vegetables. However, existing literature systematic review only conducted on adults. In comparison systematic reviews on children and adolescents are missing. So far, new potential biomarkers are mainly identified through a single explorative study by metabolic profiling of biospecimen or tissue after intake of various foods or based on food chemistry. However, they must be further validated to assure that they accurately represent the level of intake of the food considered, that the sample type and time of sampling is appropriate for the intended use, and that the analytical method is valid according to current standards. Recently, Oragsted et al. have developed a comprehensive biomarker validation scheme based on eight criteria. Therefore, the aim of this extensive literature reviews is (1) to summarize potential BFVIs in children and adolescents, (2) and to examine the current level of validation of candidate BFVIs in children and adolescent by following Oragsted et al. validation procedure, (3) to explore if there are any differences regarding BFVIs between children and adolescents.

description: Displacing diesel and gasoline with electricity and compressed natural gas is a strategy to increase energy security, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improve air quality in North Carolina. The energy capacity of renewable electricity (solar, offshore wind, hydropower, and biomass) and renewable natural gas (methane collected from landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and concentrated animal farm operations) in North Carolina is estimated at the county level. Solar dominates at 90 percent of the total renewable energy potential with viable resources located primarily in central North Carolina. The Department of Energy's Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) tool is used to calculate the petroleum use, GHG emissions, and air pollutants up to 2030. Despite improvements in fuel efficiency and emission control technologies, light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles outperform their gasoline and diesel counterparts in air pollutant reductions. However, recommendations for heavy-duty fuels are dependent on goals and priorities.

description: Empathy is frequently described in opposition to rationality. Yet in two studies, we demonstrate that the relationship between rationality and empathy is nuanced and likely context dependent. Study 1 reports correlational data from two American samples and Study 2 presents a meta-analysis of existing literature (k=22). We demonstrate that various types of cognitive empathy (perspective-taking, emotion recognition, and fantasy) are positively correlated with self-reported rationality, but unrelated to rational performance. In contrast, types of emotional empathy (empathic concern, personal distress, and emotion contagion) are generally negatively correlated with performance measures of rationality, but their relationships with self-reported rationality are divergent. Although these results do not settle the debate on empathy and rationality, they challenge the opposing domains hypothesis and provide tentative support for a dual-process model of empathy. Overall, these results indicate that the relationship between rationality and empathy differs depending upon how rationality and empathy are measured.

Making Assistive Devices Essential: Prioritizing Products in Global Health
Creators: name: Sigounas, Vaia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Until recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) specified just one resource as essential for the health of the population: prescription medications. Over time, it became clear that the essential medications list excluded other, arguably equally necessary, interventions from the domain of humanitarian aid, and the WHO developed a “priority assistive products” in 2016. I argue that the WHO created this list because disability rights activists worldwide are couching access to assistive devices in terms of human rights. In this paper, I use ethnographic analysis to follow the pathway of lower extremity prosthetic devices as they are distributed throughout Uganda. This study suggests that, by glossing over the details of who gets devices and how, the WHO may not be addressing real concerns surrounding the social factors that mediate access or be attending to the plurality of ways people in the developing world obtain access to assistive devices.

description: The addressability of parallel spatially multimode quantum memory for light allows one to control independent collective spin waves within the same cold atomic ensemble. Generally speaking, there are transverse and longitudinal degrees of freedom of the memory that one can address by a proper choice of the pump (control) field spatial pattern. Here we concentrate on the mutual evolution and transformation of quantum states of the longitudinal modes of collective spin coherence in the cavity-based memory scheme. We assume that these modes are coherently controlled by the pump waves of the on--demand transverse profile, that is, by the superpositions of waves propagating in the directions, close to orthogonal to the cavity axis. By the write-in, this allows one to couple a time sequence of the incoming quantized signals to a given set of superpositions of orthogonal spin waves. By the readout, one can retrieve quantum states of the collective spin waves that are controllable superpositions of the initial ones and are on demand coupled to the output signal sequence. In general case, the memory is able to operate as a controllable delayed multi-port beamsplitter, capable of transformation of the delays, the durations and time shapes of signals in the sequence. We elaborate the theory of such light--matter interface for the spatially multivariate cavity-based off--resonant Raman--type quantum memory. Since in order to speed up the manipulation of complex signals in multivariate memories it might be of interest to store relatively short light pulses of a given time shape, we also address some issues of the cavity-based memory operation beyond the bad cavity limit.

description: Residential care has long been considered the poor cousin of case work (Ward, 1997). The low morale of residential workers and their sense of isolation from child care policy and practice developments have been well documented (Berridge & Brodie, 1998, Murray & Hill, 1991). Over recent times there has been a move to raise the profile of such practitioners and to identify the complex and skilled role that they perform in the lives of the young people in their care. In many ways this has focused on the work undertaken with the individual young person. Both the inspection process (in terms of identifying care plans, work with individuals and families) and the research approach taken have compounded such a perspective. As a result there has been a lack of information about how staff work with young people as a group, living together and sharing day to day experiences. More noticeably, there is a general lack of understanding as to the way in which the group functions and the meanings such groups may have for young people living in residential care.

description: The study examined the effect of equity financing on the financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Return on Assets was used as a measure of financial performance while share capital, retained earnings, and other reserves were used as independent variables. Data for the study was obtained from the audited annual reports of the 14 sampled deposit money banks for a period of 10 years covering 2009 to 2018. The study employed robust ordinary least square regression as a tool for analysis and testing of hypotheses based on the Hausman specification test. The result reveals that share capital has a positive and insignificant effect on return on assets while retained earnings and other reserves have a positive and significant effect on return on assets. The study concludes that retained earnings and other reserves improve the financial performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria, in line with pecking other theories. The study recommends, among others, that the board of directors should critically and closely monitor the financial structure decisions of the banks by closely ensuring that retained earnings and other reserves are ploughed back on profitable investments.

description: In this paper, we present how we created a Domain Specific Language (DSL) dedicated to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) at Ericsson. First, we introduce IMS and how developers are burdened by its complexity when integrating it in their application. Then we describe the principles we followed to create our new IMS DSL from its core in the Scala language to its syntax. We then present how we integrated it in two existing projects and show how it can save time for developers and how readable the syntax of the IMS DSL is.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect that Tarangire National Park (TNP) has on local perceptions of risk and how these perceptions inform behavioral responses. Data were collected through household surveys and Participatory Risk Mapping (PRM) in 8 villages east of TNP in 2004-05. By identifying and rank-ordering respondents’ perceived risks, PRM enhances understanding of the nature and variation of risks faced within a population by distinguishing between the incidence and severity of subjective risk perceptions. In addition, multivariate statistics are utilized to examine the effects of household size, wealth, and village location on risk perception. Results indicate that proximity to the park has a strong effect on the type and severity of perceived risks. Within villages close to the park, however, behavioral response to perceived risks varies considerably. This study sheds light on how behavioral response to environmental and socio-economic factors is mediated through human perception.

description: With huge unlicensed bandwidth available in most parts of the world, millimeter wave (mmWave) communications in the 60 GHz band has been considered as one of the most promising candidates to support multi-gigabit wireless services. Due to high propagation loss of mmWave channels, beamforming is likely to become adopted as an essential technique. Consequently, transmission in 60 GHz band is inherently directional. Directivity enables concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse), which can be fully exploited to improve network capacity. In this paper, we propose a multiple paths multi-hop scheduling scheme, termed MPMH, for mmWave wireless personal area networks, where the traffic across links of low channel quality is transmitted through multiple paths of multiple hops to unleash the potential of spatial reuse. We formulate the problem of multiple paths multi-hop scheduling as a mixed integer linear program (MILP), which is generally NP-hard. To enable the implementation of the multiple paths multi-hop transmission in practice, we propose a heuristic scheme including path selection, traffic distribution, and multiple paths multi-hop scheduling to efficiently solve the formulated problem. Finally, through extensive simulations, we demonstrate MPMH achieves near-optimal network performance in terms of transmission delay and throughput, and enhances the network performance significantly compared with existing protocols.
