Publisher: name: Journal of Clinical & Developmental Psychology
Year: 2024

description: Background Neurodivergence is a complex phenomenon involving unique cognitive and behavioral characteristics. Neurodivergent women face significant challenges in the world of work, which can be mitigated through self-entrepreneurship.


Methods: This qualitative study involved four neurodivergent women engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Semi-structured interviews, conducted via videoconference and analyzed using an inductive thematic approach, explored the participants' work and entrepreneurial experiences.


Results: Participants reported diverse experiences, some coming to entrepreneurship after other work experiences and one who had never worked as an employee. Interviews revealed difficulties related to the burden of care during the COVID-19 pandemic, sectoral resistance due to gender, and the challenges of running an entrepreneurial business.


Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of targeted support for neurodivergent women in entrepreneurship, suggesting the need for inclusive policies to reduce barriers and foster their professional success. Practical implications include the development of workplace accommodations, such as flexible work conditions, awareness training for employers, and funding programs tailored to neurodivergent entrepreneurs. These findings can inform future support initiatives and interventions to improve the employment inclusion of neurodivergent women.

description: The ability of acoustic microstreaming to cause a pair of particles to attract or repel is investigated. Expanding the flow around two spheres in terms of a small-amplitude parameter measuring the amplitude of the forcing, the leading order is an oscillating flow field with zero mean representing the effect of the applied acoustic field, while the second-order correction contains a steady streaming component. A modal decomposition in the azimuthal direction reduces the problem to a few linear problems in a 2D domain corresponding to the meridional (r; z) plane. The analysis computes both the intricate flow fields and the mean forces felt by both spheres. If the spheres are aligned obliquely with respect to the oscillating flow, they experience a lateral force which realigns them into a transverse configuration. In this transverse configuration, they experience an axial force which can be either attractive or repulsive. At high frequencies the force is always attractive. At low frequencies, it is repulsive. At intermediate frequencies, the force is attractive at large distances and repulsive at small distances, leading to the existence of a stable equilibrium configuration.

description: Background: Psychological symptoms in older adults are a significant public health concern. Understanding how demographic and social factors influence these symptoms is essential for effective interventions.


Methods: This study analyzed psychological symptoms in 313 elderly individuals 32 men and 281 women—aged between 60 and 90 years, with most aged 60–65 and having elementary education. We used the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) to assess symptoms like depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, phobias, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, paranoia, and psychosis. Data were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA to compare psychological variables based on gender, education level, living area, involvement in Islamic organizations, and employment before age 60. A bias test showed that bias was not a significant issue.


Results: The results indicated that women had higher psychological symptoms than men. Education level significantly affected symptoms—those with less education had higher distress levels. Age and living area did not significantly impact symptoms. Participants involved in Islamic organizations had lower psychological symptoms. There were no significant differences for those involved in general organizations or those living with family members. Interestingly, those who worked before age 60 showed higher levels of hostility, paranoia, and psychotic symptoms


Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of demographic and social factors in affecting psychological symptoms among the elderly. These findings can guide more targeted mental health interventions for this age group

description: The problem of setting and coordination of Directional Over-Current Relay (DOCR) is a highly constrained optimization problem that has been solved as a linear programming problem. The calculation of the time dial setting (TDS) and pick up current (IP) setting of the relays is the core of the coordination. This paper calculates the TDS by choosing one of the available pick up current settings as the predetermined value, in this paper it will be set at 0.5, 1 and 1.5. The LP Dual simplex method is used to determine the optional TDS of the relays in compensated system by series FACTS devises i.e. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). A sample system of IEEE 33 bus distribution system is used to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the developed method.

description: The literature shows that school interventions aimed at enhancing social and emotional learning and coping strategies have a positive effect on mental health in children and the maintenance of a positive school climate. This research aims to identify the strengths and limitations of the literature on implementing educational interventions on SEL and coping strategies in elementary school. The selection of studies for this review was based on a priori-defined criteria by consulting four databases: Scopus, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Ten articles published in the decade 2013-2023 were included. The analysis of these studies shows that school-based intervention programs seem to be most effective when they are universal and promote active student involvement.

description: The congestion scenario on a road network is often represented by a set of differently congested partitions having homogeneous level of congestion inside. Due to the changing traffic, these partitions evolve with time. In this paper, we propose a two-layer method to incrementally update the differently congested partitions from those at the previous time point in an efficient manner, and thus track their evolution. The physical layer performs low-level computations to incrementally update a set of small-sized road network building blocks, and the logical layer provides an interface to query the physical layer about the congested partitions. At each time point, the unstable road segments are identified and moved to their most suitable building blocks. Our experimental results on different datasets show that the proposed method is much efficient than the existing re-partitioning methods without significant sacrifice in accuracy.
Understanding the Mediating Role of Eco-Anxiety in Promoting Pro-Environmental Behaviors Across Diverse Cultural Worldviews: a preliminary study
Creators: name: Rocchi, Giulia
Publisher: name: Journal of Clinical & Developmental Psychology
Year: 2024

description: Background: Eco-anxiety describes the emotional response to the impacts of climate change, with pro-environmental behaviors serving as an effective coping strategy. However, little is known about how individuals' environmental behaviour is shaped by cultural worldviews and which dimensions of eco-anxiety are most prevalent in this relationship. This preliminary study investigates the mediating role of eco-anxiety in promoting pro-environmental behaviors through the lens of Semiotic-Cultural Psychology Theory.


Method: A sample of 404 Italian adults completed a questionnaire made by the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale, self-reported pro-environmental behaviors, and the View of Context questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression models and interaction analyses with moderators, employing PROCESS for SPSS (v4.2) and SPAD (v5.5).


Results: Positive correlations emerged between all dimensions of eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors. A combination of data analysis identified four distinct cultural worldviews and the eco-anxiety dimension “anxiety about personal impact” was a significant mediator across all worldviews, linking eco-anxiety to pro-environmental actions.


Conclusions: These findings emphasize the cultural embeddedness of eco-anxiety and its potential to foster sustainable behaviors.The results offer valuable insights for interventions promoting environmental engagement across diverse cultural contexts, such as personalised environmental campaigns, tailored emotional coping programmes, environmental policies that promote a sense of community

description: Walter Powell's notes record the hotels and large houses in Llandrindod Wells which were commandeered by the War Ministry and turned "into a military hospital for Tommies coming back from France with rheumatism etc." in 1914. "This carried on to 1923". Also that "when I came home [from France] in 1919, I belonged to a Pierotte troupe and we used to go around the boys in Blue and give concerts and have a jolly time... before radio and TV we had to make our own entertainment. We were often a hundred or more. Happy days."

Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed "suffering the effects all his life". He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

description: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are capable of differentiating into any cell type and provide significant advances to cell therapy and regenerative medicine. However, the current protocol for hiPSC generation is relatively inefficient and often results in many partially reprogrammed colonies, which increases the cost and reduces the applicability of hiPSCs. Biophysical stimulation, in particular from tuning cell-surface interactions, can trigger specific cellular responses that could in turn promote the reprogramming process. In this study, human fibroblasts were reprogrammed into hiPSCs using a feeder-free system and episomal vectors using novel substrates based on binary colloidal crystals (BCCs). BCCs are made from two different spherical particle materials (Si and PMMA) ranging in size from nanometers to micrometers that self-assemble into hexagonal close-packed arrays. Our results show that the BCCs, particularly those made from a crystal of 2 μm Si and 0.11 μm PMMA particles (2SiPM) facilitate the reprogramming process and increase the proportion of fully reprogrammed hiPSC colonies, even without a vitronectin coating. Subsequent isolation of clonal hiPSC lines demonstrates that they express pluripotent markers (OCT4 and TRA-1-60). This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that cell reprogramming can be improved on substrates where surface properties are tailored to the application.

description: In this paper, the most widely used empirical path loss models are compared to real data; the most appropriate one (COST-231) has been optimized using three different algorithms to fit measured data for mobile communication system. The performance of the adjusted Cost-231 model obtained by the proposed methods is then compared to the experimental data. The concert criteria selected for the comparison of various empirical path loss models is the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). From numerical simulations, it was noticed a significant improvement in the prediction made by the proposed algorithm with a slight superiority of Invasive weed Optimization algorithm in term of lower RMSE value in one hand and in term of convergence speed on the other hand compared to PSO and ABC algorithm.

description: Modern quantum technologies have matured such that they can now be used in space applications, e.g., long‐distance quantum communication. Here, the design of a compact true single photon source is presented that can enhance the secure data rates in satellite‐based quantum key distribution scenarios compared to conventional laser‐based light sources. The quantum light source is a fluorescent color center in hexagonal boron nitride. The emitter is off‐resonantly excited by a diode laser and directly coupled to an integrated photonic processor that routes the photons to different experiments performed directly on‐chip: i) the characterization of the single photon source and ii) testing a fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics, namely the relation of the probability density and the wave function (known as Born's rule). The described payload is currently being integrated into a 3U CubeSat and scheduled to launch in 2024 into low Earth orbit. Therefore the feasibility of true single photon sources and reconfigurable photonic circuits in space can be evaluated. This provides a promising route toward a high‐speed quantum network.

description: The theoretical discussion usually labelled “Constructivism”, which has prevailed in historical and literary studies, in later years, has centered on the problem of the implicit relativity of all descriptions and analysis of social realities – past and presence. Analysing four literary texts more or less concentrating on the history of the Baltic States, the escape of the Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians in the wake of the Soviet occupation to Sweden, as well as, on their preceptions of the new “Homeland” and the complicated relations between the Swedes and the Baltic immigrants, the essay is an attempt to illustrate the fundamental complexity of reproducing a clear and un-controversial picture of historical events. Hence, fiction, due to its particular type of explanatory and communicative power, can play a significant, but of course limited, role in explaining this opaque and controversial piece of national history.

description: In this paper, distributed constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection in homogeneous and heterogeneous Gaussian clutter using Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) method is analyzed. For independent and dependent signals with known and unknown power, optimal thresholds of local detectors are computed simultaneously according to a preselected fusion rule. Based on the Neyman-Pearson type test, CFAR detection comparisons obtained by the genetic algorithm (GA) and the BBO tool are conducted. Simulation results show that this new scheme in some cases performs better than the GA method described in the open literature in terms of achieving fixed probabilities of false alarm and higher probabilities of detection.

description: Big data has ushered in a new wave of predictive power using machine-learning models. In this work, we assess what big means in the context of typical materials-science machine-learning problems. This concerns not only data volume, but also data quality and veracity as much as infrastructure issues. With selected examples, we ask (i) how models generalize to similar datasets, (ii) how high-quality datasets can be gathered from heterogenous sources, (iii) how the feature set and complexity of a model can affect expressivity, and (iv) what infrastructure requirements are needed to create larger datasets and train models on them. In sum, we find that big data present unique challenges along very different aspects that should serve to motivate further work.

description: We present a computational approach to model history-dependent damage in brain tissue. The basis for the computational approach is the embedded element method which enables the explicit representation of axonal fiber tracts that are obtained from magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging. Our damage model uses multiple reduction factors to capture the stress softening effect that results from tissue overload and fatigue. In addition, damage results are available for visualization and can be used to inform subsequent simulations. In order to study features of the damage model, we virtually extract small pieces of tissue from the whole brain that has fiber tractography embedded. By conducting computational experiments using different loading conditions we are able to study the evolution of anisotropic damage along fiber tracts. Using the embedded element method there exist two finite element meshes: the fiber mesh (trusses) that is created from the diffusion tensor imaging tractography, and the background matrix mesh. The damage model is based in a continuum damage mechanics approach applied to the fiber mesh so each truss element carries a damage variable, D. The damage model uses the axonal strain to compute the damage variable evolution. We have included terms for overload, fatigue and regeneration that reverse the damage accumulation.

description: I beleive that the person in this photgraph is my grandfather, John Rhodes, Private 22491 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards. He was killed in action 25th September 1916. He was Born in Marden in Kent in aprrox 1895 to 1897. He enlisted in Maidstone, kent. He has No known grave. Commemorated on THIEPVAL MEMORIAL, Somme, France. Pier and Face 8 D.This photograph MAY not be John Rodes but may be George William Wellsman, (My other Grandfater) I suspect that the regiment is Yorks & Lancs. That is the Yorkshire and Lancashire Regiment. I have had a look at the World War 1 Medal cards and there is a William George WELLSMAN, Air Mechanic 3rd Class 65868, Royal Flying Corps. He was medically discharged from the Army. I have uploaded and listed his discharge papers also on this site under George William Wellsman.If anyone has any further information regarding this I would be grateful.Thank you June WellsmanEditor's Comment:
The photograph is of Pte. 28493 William George Wellman, as proved by the York and Lancaster Regiment Capbadge. He enlisted in this regiment on 5th July 1916, and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps on 7th March 1917 (regt. number 65868), becoming an Air Mechanic 3rd Class and with whom he served overseas. Thus his medal card only mentions his service with the Royal Flying Corps. Discharged as medically unfit, 27th December 1917.

description: Objective Our study examined the psychological outcomes associated with failed ART treatment outcomes in men and women. Search Strategy A systematic search for studies published between January 1980 and August 2015 was performed across seven electronic databases. Inclusion Criteria Studies were included if they contained data on psychosocial outcomes taken pre and post ART treatment. Data Extraction and Synthesis A standardised form was used to extract data and was verified by two independent reviewers. Studies were meta-analysed to determine the association of depression and anxiety with ART treatment outcomes. Narrative synthesis identified factors to explain variations in the size and directions of effects and relationships explored within and between the studies. Main Results Both depression and anxiety increased after a ART treatment failure with an overall pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) of 0.41 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.55) for depression and 0.21 (95% CI: 0.13, 0.29) for anxiety. In contrast, depression decreased after a successful treatment, SMD of -0.24 (95% CI: -0.37,-0.11). Both depression and anxiety decreased as time passed from ART procedure. Nonetheless, these remained higher than baseline measures in the group with the failed outcome even six months after the procedure. Studies included in the narrative synthesis also confirmed an association with negative psychological outcomes in relation to marital satisfaction and general well-being following treatment failure. Conclusion Linking ART failure and psychosocial outcomes may elucidate the experience of treatment subgroups, influence deliberations around recommendations for resource allocation and health policy and guide patient and clinician decision making.

description: The SARS-CoV-2 (SCoV-2) virus is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It contains a positive sense single-stranded RNA genome and belongs to the genus of Betacoronaviruses. The 5′- and 3′-genomic ends of the 30 kb SCoV-2 genome are potential antiviral drug targets. Major parts of these sequences are highly conserved among Betacoronaviruses and contain cis-acting RNA elements that affect RNA translation and replication. The 31 nucleotide (nt) long highly conserved stem-loop 5a (SL5a) is located within the 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) important for viral replication. SL5a features a U-rich asymmetric bulge and is capped with a 5′-UUUCGU-3′ hexaloop, which is also found in stem-loop 5b (SL5b). We herein report the extensive ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N resonance assignment of SL5a as basis for in-depth structural studies by solution NMR spectroscopy.
Understanding and Treating Sleep Disturbance in Women Receiving Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

description: This thesis aimed to better understand sleep problems in women with breast cancer, and to develop a treatment to improve sleep during chemotherapy. In a 12-month study of 460 women, insomnia and fatigue symptom patterns were identified and women with higher psychological stress were more likely to have worse sleep and fatigue outcomes. To improve these symptoms, we trialled combined cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia and light therapy (CBT+), in 101 women undergoing chemotherapy. CBT+ led to significant improvements in insomnia and fatigue. These findings are an important step toward incorporating accessible, effective treatment for sleep into routine cancer care.

description: Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: How do we teach students to recognize and navigate the structures that shape information—structures that produce absence as well as excess—with critical implications for our possible accounts of the past and what is possible to know in the future? Shannon Mattern's Data, Archive, Infrastructure course tackles this challenge by drawing attention to different information ecologies and how they are constituted by materials, spaces, technologies, histories, and people in dynamic, political interaction. The strength of this approach is its balance of an expansive theoretical frame that models conscientious and energetic cross-disciplinarity with equally wide-ranging attention to praxis. Each week's thematized readings bring together a range of perspectives, from archivists, historians, artists, cultural theorists, librarians, literary scholars, and more. Students explore how different knowledge infrastructures are created and deployed through a range of real-world case studies.

description: We describe the development of an FX-style correlator for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), implemented in software and intended to run in multiprocessor computing environments, such as large clusters of commodity machines (Beowulf clusters) or computers specifically designed for high-performance computing, such as multiprocessor shared-memory machines. We outline the scientific and practical benefits for VLBI correlation, these chiefly being due to the inherent flexibility of software and the fact that the highly parallel and scalable nature of the correlation task is well suited to a multiprocessor computing environment. We suggest scientific applications where such an approach to VLBI correlation is most suited and will give the best returns. We report detailed results from the Distributed FX (DiFX) software correlator running on the Swinburne supercomputer (a Beowulf cluster of ~300 commodity processors), including measures of the performance of the system. For example, to correlate all Stokes products for a 10 antenna array with an aggregate bandwidth of 64 MHz per station, and using typical time and frequency resolution, currently requires an order of 100 desktop-class compute nodes. Due to the effect of Moore's law on commodity computing performance, the total number and cost of compute nodes required to meet a given correlation task continues to decrease rapidly with time. We show detailed comparisons between DiFX and two existing hardware-based correlators: the Australian Long Baseline Array S2 correlator and the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array correlator. In both cases, excellent agreement was found between the correlators. Finally, we describe plans for the future operation of DiFX on the Swinburne supercomputer for both astrophysical and geodetic science.
