Mental health literacy : A review of applications and effectiveness in the higher education workplace
Creators: name: Massie, Miranda A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: A growing body of international evidence indicates that education, prevention efforts and early intervention are critical to the mental health of our populations. These efforts are taking place across social systems and within organizational structures including public health, educational institutions and workplaces. Purpose: To review current literature in an effort to identify themes related to successful workplace-based mental health literacy (MHL) programs, specifically in the area of higher education. The purpose was also to use a UBC case study to highlight potential connections between existing evidence and higher education applications. Method: The bodies of literature consulted for the review were reflective of the unique interplay between the concept (MHL), context (workplaces) and setting (higher education) of this project. The supporting case study synthesizes the training outcomes of staff and faculty participants in two mental health literacy (MHL) education programs, and outlines the results of post-training surveys designed to measure MHL measures collected from 191 training participants. Findings: The project identified multiple sets of promising practices in areas of effective workplace health promotion, successful mental health literacy applications, and higher education workplace interventions. It also revealed a gap in current research examining MHL outcomes within higher education workplaces. The UBC case study results aim to close this gap by demonstrating the value and effectiveness of Mental Health First Aid and The Working Mind in increasing MHL of staff and faculty. Next steps: The aim of this paper is to grow the emerging research in this area as well as support the current MHL training efforts within UBC’s department of Human Resources.

description: In a previous study we developed a mean-field theory of dynamical transitions for the totally-asymmetric simple-exclusion process (TASEP) with open boundaries and Langmuir kinetics, in the so-called balanced regime, characterized by equal binding and unbinding rates. Here we show that simply including the possibility of unbalanced rates gives rise to an unexpectedly richer dynamical phase diagram. In particular, the current work predicts an unusual type of dynamical transition, which exhibits certain similarities with first-order phase transitions of equilibrium systems. We also point out that different types of dynamical transition are accompanied by different structural changes in the (mean-field) relaxation spectrum.

description: We investigate crop rotation with legumes from economic and environmental perspectives by asking how effective they are at providing profits and reducing nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions compared with monoculture cultivation. We study this effectiveness in three alternative policy regimes: the free market optimum, the Finnish agri-environmental scheme, and socially optimal cultivation, and also design policy instruments to achieve the socially optimal outcomes in land use and fertilization. We first develop an analytical model to describe crop rotation and the role of legumes, and examine its implications for water and climate policies. Drawing on Finnish agricultural data, we then use numerical simulations and show that shifting from monoculture cultivation to crop rotation with legumes provides economically and environmentally better outcomes. Crop rotation with legumes also reduces the variability in profits caused by stochastic weather. The optimal instruments implementing the social optimum depend on nutrient and climate damage (nitrogen tax), as well as carbon sequestration and nutrient reduction benefits (buffer strip subsidy).

Near-Infrared Molecular Hydrogen Emission from the Central Regions of Galaxies: Regulated Physical Conditions in the Interstellar Medium

description: The central regions of many interacting and early-type spiral galaxies are actively forming stars. This process affects the physical and chemical properties of the local interstellar medium as well as the evolution of the galaxies. We observed near-infrared H2 emission lines: v=1-0 S(1), 3-2 S(3), 1-0 S(0), and 2-1 S(1) from the central ~1 kpc regions of the archetypical starburst galaxies, M82 and NGC 253, and the less dramatic but still vigorously star-forming galaxies, NGC 6946 and IC 342. Like the far-infrared continuum luminosity, the near-infrared H2 emission luminosity can directly trace the amount of star formation activity because the H2 emission lines arise from the interaction between hot and young stars and nearby neutral clouds. The observed H2 line ratios show that both thermal and non-thermal excitation are responsible for the emission lines, but that the great majority of the near-infrared H2 line emission in these galaxies arises from energy states excited by ultraviolet fluorescence. The derived physical conditions, e.g., far-ultraviolet radiation field and gas density, from [C II] and [O I] lines and far-infrared continuum observations when used as inputs to photodissociation models, also explain the luminosity of the observed H2 v=1-0 S(1) line. The ratio of the H2 v=1-0 S(1) line to far-IR continuum luminosity is remarkably constant over a broad range of galaxy luminosities; L_H2/L_FIR = about 10^{-5}, in normal late-type galaxies (including the Galactic center), in nearby starburst galaxies, and in luminous IR galaxies (LIRGs: L_FIR > 10^{11} L_sun). Examining this constant ratio in the context of photodissociation region models, we conclude that it implies that the strength of the incident UV field on typical molecular clouds follows the gas density at the cloud surface.

description: We construct a field-theoretic description of spin waves in hexagonal antiferromagnets with three magnetic sublattices and coplanar $120^\circ$ magnetic order. The three Goldstone modes can be separated by point-group symmetry into a singlet $α_{0}$ and a doublet $(β_x,β_y)$. The $α_0$ singlet is described by the standard theory of a free relativistic scalar field. The field theory of the $(β_x,β_y)$ doublet is analogous to the theory of elasticity of a two-dimensional isotropic solid with distinct longitudinal and transverse "speeds of sound". The well-known Heisenberg models on the triangular and kagome lattices with nearest-neighbour exchange turn out to be special cases with accidental degeneracy of the spin-wave velocities. The speeds of sound can be readily calculated for any lattice model. We apply this approach to the compounds of the Mn$_3$X family with stacked kagome layers.

description: Autonomous driving at level five does not only means self-driving in the sunshine. Adverse weather is especially critical because fog, rain, and snow degrade the perception of the environment. In this work, current state of the art light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors are tested in controlled conditions in a fog chamber. We present current problems and disturbance patterns for four different state of the art lidar systems. Moreover, we investigate how tuning internal parameters can improve their performance in bad weather situations. This is of great importance because most state of the art detection algorithms are based on undisturbed lidar data.

description: We consider a gauged $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ extension of the left-right symmetric theory in order to simultaneously explain neutrino mass, mixing and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We get sizeable contribution from the interaction of the new light gauge boson $Z_{μτ}$ of the $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ symmetry with muons which can individually satisfy the current bounds on muon $(g-2)$ anomaly ($Δa_μ$). The other positive contributions to $Δa_μ$ come from the interactions of singly charged gauge bosons $W_L$, $W_R$ with heavy neutral fermions and that of neutral CP-even scalars with muons. The interaction of $W_L$ with heavy neutrino is facilitated by inverse seesaw mechanism which allows large light-heavy neutrino mixing and explains neutrino mass in our model. CP-even scalars with mass around few hundreds GeV can also satisfy the entire current muon anomaly bound. The results show that the model gives a small but non-negligible contribution to $Δa_μ$ thereby eliminating the entire deviation in theoretical prediction and experimental result of muon $(g-2)$ anomaly. We have briefly presented a comparative study for symmetric and asymmetric left-right symmetric model in context of various contribution to $Δa_μ$. We also discuss how the generation of neutrino mass is affected when left-right symmetry breaks down to Standard Model symmetry via various choices of scalars.

description: The magnetic glassy state is a fascinating phenomenon, which results from the kinetic arrest of the first order magnetic phase transition. Interesting properties, such as metastable magnetization and nonequilibrium magnetic phases, are naturally developed in the magnetic glassy state. Here, we report magnetic glass property in the low spin state of Co3+ in EuBaCo2O5+δ (δ = 0.47) cobaltite at low temperature (T < 60 K). The measurements of magnetization under the cooling and heating in unequal fields, magnetization relaxation and thermal cycling of magnetization show the kinetic arrest of low magnetization state below 60 K. The kinetically arrested low temperature magnetic phase is further supported through the study of isothermal magnetic entropy, which shows the significant entropy change. The present results will open a new window to search the microscopic relation between the spin state transitions and the kinetic arrest induced magnetic glassy phenomena in complex materials.

description: Computer-assisted multimodal training is an effective way of learning complex motor skills in various applications. In particular disciplines (eg. healthcare) incompetency in performing dexterous hands-on examinations (clinical palpation) may result in misdiagnosis of symptoms, serious injuries or even death. Furthermore, a high quality clinical examination can help to exclude significant pathology, and reduce time and cost of diagnosis by eliminating the need for unnecessary medical imaging. Medical palpation is used regularly as an effective preliminary diagnosis method all around the world but years of training are required currently to achieve competency. This paper focuses on a multimodal palpation training system to teach and improve clinical examination skills in relation to the abdomen. It is our aim to shorten significantly the palpation training duration by increasing the frequency of rehearsals as well as providing essential augmented feedback on how to perform various abdominal palpation techniques which has been captured and modelled from medical experts. Twenty three first year medical students divided into a control group (n=8), a semi-visually trained group (n=8), and a fully visually trained group (n=7) were invited to perform three palpation tasks (superficial, deep and liver). The medical students performances were assessed using both computer-based and human-based methods where a positive correlation was shown between the generated scores, r=.62, p(one-tailed)

description: Recent research activities on the chiral structure of hadronic matter near the phase transition predicted by QCD and extensively looked for in terrestrial laboratories as well as in satellite observatories raise the issue of whether we have fully identified the relevant degrees of freedom involved in the transition. In this talk, I would like to discuss a recent novel approach to the issue based on the "vector manifestation" scenario discovered by Harada and Yamawaki in hidden local symmetry theory. For simplicity, I will restrict myself to two extreme scenarios: one that we shall refer to as "standard" in which pions are considered to be the $only$ low-lying degrees of freedom and the other that could be referred to as "non-standard" in which in addition to pions, other degrees of freedom figure in the process. In particular, I shall consider the scenario that arises at one-loop order in chiral perturbation theory with hidden local symmetry Lagrangian consisting of pions as well as nearly massless vector mesons that figure importantly at the ``vector manifestation (VM)" fixed point. It will be shown that if the VM is realized in nature, the chiral phase structure of hadronic matter can be much richer than that in the standard one and the chiral phase transition will be a smooth crossover: Sharp vector and scalar excitations are expected in the vicinity of the critical point. Some indirect indications that lend support to the VM scenario are discussed.

diagnostic tool which provides significant signals to detect heart abnormalities. In this context, this paper presents a novel and economical approach to the quick approximation of hearts overall condition of a person. Using low cost ECG sensors, the real time ECG signals have been generated via 3 leads, stored and displayed on an android app developed by ourselves and some techniques have been applied to diagnose common abnormalities. The proposed system is convenient and consists of uncomplicated circuitry compared to analogous recent electrocardiogram monitoring technologies. It offers an affordable and easily accessible

description: This paper outlines trends in rice production systems in Asia, highlighting the growing problems of land, water, and labor scarcity. Associated with these trends is the need to increase rural incomes, reduce poverty, and at the same time address growing concerns about the environment. By examining these problems and needs in rice production and postproduction, potential stakeholders can be identified. Roles and approaches in rice research for these stakeholders can then be developed and clarified to better address the needs of Asian rice production systems. This paper seeks to discuss future roles for agricultural engineering in international agricultural research institutions, and what organizational changes will be necessary to realize those roles. As we move into a more knowledge-intensive environment, where knowledge is substituted for increasing levels of inputs, we should consider how different stakeholders can best integrate their efforts to more effectively communicate knowledge to farmers.

description: An outstanding problem in heliospheric physics is understanding the acceleration of solar energetic particles (SEP) in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares. A fundamental question is whether the acceleration occurs in interplanetary space, or near the Sun. Recent work has shown that CME-driven shocks may produce SEPs while still below 5 solar radii. In this work we explore SEP acceleration during the onset of CMEs and shocks even lower in the corona, using realistic suprathermal spectra, for a selection of events. We have calculated quiet-time, pre-event suprathermal particle spectra from 1 AU observations, and scaled them back to the low corona to serve as seed spectra. For each event, AIA observations and the CASHeW framework were used to model the compressive/shock wave kinematics and its interaction with the corona. The proton acceleration was then modeled using an analytic diffusive shock acceleration model as the shock waves propagate between 1.05 and 1.3 solar radii. We demonstrate the capability of low coronal shock-related EUV waves to accelerate protons to multi-MeV energies in a matter of minutes, in the very early stages of the associated solar eruptions. We find that strong proton energization occurs for high values of the density jump, Alfven Mach number, and shock speed. In future work the results of this early-stage shock acceleration will be used to model the continued acceleration higher in the corona.

description: In this paper, we present and assess the results of a survey of the views of key people on the past, present, and future of public-sector agricultural engineering in developing countries. The survey found a general consensus that there was a need for agricultural engineers in international and national research and development (R&D) units to look at the methodological approach used for research, development, and transfer. Respondents believed that future funding could best be secured and enlarged by adopting an R&D protocol that placed agricultural engineers within a multidisciplinary team working closely with the private sector. The team would provide not only innovative prototype designs but also a whole package of other inputs to help manufacturers successfully commercialize the new technology, and help end-users learn how to use it. In addition, agricultural engineers should clarify the roles of the public versus private sector, clarify priorities, and communicate success stories more effectively. Most respondents thought that there had been a serious decline in funding for agricultural engineering in some areas because public-sector agricultural engineering has had, or has been perceived to have had, little impact in farmers' fields. One reason suggested was that these R&D units often have little contact with commercial companies and end-users and, as a result, have not been able to develop technologies that meet real needs. Agricultural engineers working for the public sector in developed countries, who have also faced serious declines in their profession, have for some time realized that their survival depends on close links to the private sector. They have had to learn new skills and to work within multidisciplinary teams. In developing countries, a very limited number of R&D units have been working closely with the private sector. This paper concludes that understanding why more R&D units have not adopted this multidisciplinary R&D approach, and then working to remove constraints, is critical for the future of public-sector agricultural engineering in developing countries.

description: Fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) has become the default practice for improving model performance on a given task. However, performance improvement comes at the cost of training on vast amounts of annotated data which could be sensitive leading to significant data privacy concerns. In particular, the healthcare domain is one of the most sensitive domains exposed to data privacy issues. In this paper, we present PatientDx, a framework of model merging that allows the design of effective LLMs for health-predictive tasks without requiring fine-tuning nor adaptation on patient data. Our proposal is based on recently proposed techniques known as merging of LLMs and aims to optimize a building block merging strategy. PatientDx uses a pivotal model adapted to numerical reasoning and tunes hyperparameters on examples based on a performance metric but without training of the LLM on these data. Experiments using the mortality tasks of the MIMIC-IV dataset show improvements up to 7% in terms of AUROC when compared to initial models. Additionally, we confirm that when compared to fine-tuned models, our proposal is less prone to data leak problems without hurting performance. Finally, we qualitatively show the capabilities of our proposal through a case study. Our best model is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/ Jgmorenof/mistral\_merged\_0\_4.
Energy Momentum Tensor and Marginal Deformations in Open String Field Theory

description: Marginal boundary deformations in a two dimensional conformal field theory correspond to a family of classical solutions of the equations of motion of open string field theory. In this paper we develop a systematic method for relating the parameter labelling the marginal boundary deformation in the conformal field theory to the parameter labelling the classical solution in open string field theory. This is done by first constructing the energy-momentum tensor associated with the classical solution in open string field theory using Noether method, and then comparing this to the answer obtained in the conformal field theory by analysing the boundary state. We also use this method to demonstrate that in open string field theory the tachyon lump solution on a circle of radius larger than one has vanishing pressure along the circle direction, as is expected for a codimension one D-brane.

Recoiling D-branes

description: We propose a new method to describe a recoiling D-brane that is elastically scattered by closed strings in the non-relativistic region. We utilize the low-energy effective field theory on the worldvolume of the D-brane, and the velocity of the D-brane is described by the time derivative of the expectation values of the massless scalar fields on the worldvolume. The effects of the closed strings are represented by a source term for the massless fields in this method. The momentum conservation condition between the closed strings and the D-brane is derived up to the relative sign of the momentum of the D-brane.

description: Of late, usage of neural network in the field of disease detection has been on advanced stage. Hence, ocular disease diagnosis has also been under the influence of machine learning. Human eye is very prone to disorders like cataract, glaucoma, myopia etc. and with the passage of time, these diseases get more and more complex and the vision of human eye gradually decays. As a matter of fact, their early detection is mandatory in order to preclude complete blindness. Several diagnosis tests like visual
acuity test, retinal exam, ocular tonometry are undertaken in real life but these are undoubtedly time consuming and frustrating for the patient as well. In this paper, a unique method for detecting eight types of ocular diseases using convolutional neural network (CNN) has been presented and its performance is evaluated. The affected regions for some diseases can also be detected. Some conventional pre-processing are performed and the data is sent to the network for rigorous classification. The model has been
trained and tested with high-end graphics processing unit (GPU) on a brand-new dataset. Our developed model has achieved a cogent F-score of approx. 85%, Kappa score of 31% and an AUC value of 80.5%. Since this is the first “real-life” (i.e. plausible for a clinical scenario of patients including camera variation) prediction of multiple diseases in an eye based on this dataset, there is hardly any analogous task to compare with. So, our model has also been performed on other dataset and it has excelled with convincing F-score, Kappa score and an AUC value.
On the numerical controllability of the two-dimensional heat, Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations

description: The aim of this work is to present some strategies to solve numerically controllability problems for the two-dimensional heat equation, the Stokes equations and the Navier-Stokes equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main idea is to adapt the Fursikov-Imanuvilov formulation, see~[A.V. Fursikov, O.Yu. Imanuvilov: {\it Controllability of Evolutions Equations,} Lectures Notes Series, Vol.~34, Seoul National University, 1996]; this approach has been followed recently for the one-dimensional heat equation by the first two authors. More precisely, we minimize over the class of admissible null controls a functional that involves weighted integrals of the state and the control, with weights that blow up near the final time. The associated optimality conditions can be viewed as a differential system in the three variables $x_1$, $x_2$ and $t$ that is second--order in time and fourth--order in space, completed with appropriate boundary conditions. We present several mixed formulations of the problems and, then, associated mixed finite element Lagrangian approximations that are relatively easy to handle. Finally, we exhibit some numerical experiments.

title: The Religious and Social Significance of Individualized Religion: Practice Communities and Networks of Transmission in Hebden Bridge
Creators: name: Wanless, Claire
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: Alongside the decline of traditional religious institutions in Britain, there has been increasing evidence of a move towards more personal expressions of religion. Secularization theorists argue religious practice without hierarchical institutions is structurally unsuited to having social significance and to sustaining itself over time. This thesis reports on ethnographic research conducted into forms of association and transmission among non-institutional and semi-institutional religious practitioners in and around Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. Hebden Bridge is a former industrial town with a history of religious nonconformism and social activism. Its character has been informed by waves of countercultural and alternative incomers since the 1970s, and it is now known as a centre of creativity and alternative culture. The subjects of this research claim a variety of religious identities and practices, and are highly suspicious of religious institutions, hierarchies, rules and dogmas. Yet they participate together actively in an overlapping and cross-linking informal network of loose practice communities and other informal associations. Their engagement propagates and sustains a core ideology that prioritizes subjectivity, locates authority at the level of the individual, and yet also predicates itself on ideals of sharing, mutuality and community. In this context religious activity tends to represent one aspect of a wider sphere of activity that can also include (for example) artistic creativity, experiments in alternative living, and environmental and political activism. While propagation and dissemination in this milieu do not occur in the same way as in institutional or hierarchical settings, the combination of informal structures and practices at play do provide a potentially viable basis for socially significant religious activity and for ongoing propagation over time.

description: We apply a version of the Chas-Sullivan-Cohen-Jones product on the higher loop homology of a manifold in order to compute the homology of the spaces of continuous and holomorphic maps of the Riemann sphere into a complex projective space. This product makes sense on the homology of maps from a co-H space to a manifold, and comes from a ring spectrum. We also build a holomorphic version of the product for maps of the Riemann sphere into homogeneous spaces. In the continuous case we define a related module structure on the homology of maps from a mapping cone into a manifold, and then describe a spectral sequence that can compute it. As a consequence we deduce a periodicity and dichotomy theorem when the source is a compact Riemann surface and the target is a complex projective space.

description: The direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration has opened a new window with which to measure cosmological parameters such as the Hubble constant $H_0$, and also probe general relativity on large scales. In this paper we present a new phenomenological approach, together with its inferencial implementation, for measuring deviations from general relativity (GR) on cosmological scales concurrently with a determination of $H_0$. We consider gravitational waves (GWs) propagating in an expanding homogeneous and isotropic background, but with a modified friction term and dispersion relation relative to that of GR. We find that a single binary neutron star GW detection will poorly constrain the GW friction term. However, a joint analysis including the GW phase and GW-GRB detection delay could improve constraints on some GW dispersion relations provided the delay is measured with millisecond precision. We also show that, for massive gravity, by combining 100 binary neutron stars detections with observed electromagnetic counterparts and hosting galaxy identification, we will be able to constrain the Hubble constant, the GW damping term and the GW dispersion relation with 2\%, 15\% and 2 \% accuracy, respectively. We emphasise that these three parameters should be measured together in order avoid biases. Finally we apply the method to GW170817, and demonstrate that for all the GW dispersions relations we consider, including massive gravity, the GW must be emitted $\sim$ 1.74s before the Gamma-ray burst (GRB). Furthermore, at the GW merger peak frequency, we show that the fractional difference between the GW group velocity and $c$ is $\lesssim 10^{-17}$.
