The role of leadership in residential care services for young people
Creators: name: Kabir, Munisah
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2025

description: The systematic literature review aimed to explore the attitudes of care
 staff towards Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) in residential care services for
 young people. Following a literature search of four electronic databases,
 eight studies were selected for inclusion in the review. Participants
 discussed how TIC enabled them to develop a greater understanding of the
 trauma needs of young people, and facilitated improvements in
 relationships on a systemic level. Barriers to implementation were shared,
 such as inconsistent interpretations of models creating confusion amongst
 the team. Clinical implications were also suggested, specifically the need
 for organisational support with implementation, and the need for continual
 training to provide greater clarity and understanding on the models of
 TIC.

 The empirical paper aimed to develop a greater understanding of the role
 of managers in residential care services for young people, specifically
 considering the challenges they face as part of their role and how they
 are supported in managing these. The findings highlighted the crucial role
 managers take in providing direct care and support to the staff team and
 young people, as well as balancing the organisational expectations.
 Reflections were offered on how the role has impacted their lives, and the
 types of support they are able to access for the homes, and for themselves
 as part of their role. Clinical implications were suggested, specifically
 how Psychology provision could be beneficial in providing support and
 containment to managers with their role.

 Finally, the critical appraisal identified the crossover between the two
 papers, and considered issues of cultural inclusivity within the field.
 Reflections on the research process were offered.

subject: Agri-Food Chains

description: Nowadays, agri-food chains are more global than ever and are characterized by increased imports and exports and global sourcing of products, resulting in increased cross-border transaction risks. The objective of this paper is to identify the typical risks regarding agri-food supply chains involved in cross-border transactions and to assess their importance as perceived by agri-food managers. The analysis takes into consideration four different agrifood value chains (meat, grain, olive oil, fresh vegetables and fruits). Following an explorative approach and a qualitative technique, a series of face to face in-depth interviews was conducted. Results indicate that risk perception may be quite different across countries, value chains, tiers of the supply chain, as well as across respondents. The prevalence of Market dynamics risks was pointed out in most of the interviews, yielding the impression that many operators identify the market as the most difficult environment. Differences in risk perception between fresh produce (fruit/vegetables and meat) and processed food chains (grain and olive oil) are probably interrelated to the different degree of integration within these supply chains, the different level of standardization achieved and the different causes of risks that are inherent to the nature of the product.
Dirac oscillator with nonzero minimal uncertainty in position

description: In the context of some deformed canonical commutation relations leading to isotropic nonzero minimal uncertainties in the position coordinates, a Dirac equation is exactly solved for the first time, namely that corresponding to the Dirac oscillator. Supersymmetric quantum mechanical and shape-invariance methods are used to derive both the energy spectrum and wavefunctions in the momentum representation. As for the conventional Dirac oscillator, there are neither negative-energy states for $E=-1$, nor symmetry between the $l = j - {1/2}$ and $l = j + {1/2}$ cases, both features being connected with supersymmetry or, equivalently, the $ω\to - ω$ transformation. In contrast with the conventional case, however, the energy spectrum does not present any degeneracy pattern apart from that associated with the rotational symmetry. More unexpectedly, deformation leads to a difference in behaviour between the $l = j - {1/2}$ states corresponding to small, intermediate and very large $j$ values in the sense that only for the first ones supersymmetry remains unbroken, while for the second ones no bound state does exist.

description: We present a spectroscopic survey using the MMT/Hectospec fiber spectrograph of 24 micron sources selected with the Spitzer Space Telescope in the Spitzer First Look Survey. We report 1296 new redshifts for 24 micron sources, including 599 with f(24micron) > 1 mJy. Combined with 291 additional redshifts for sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), our observing program was highly efficient and is ~90% complete for i' < 21 mag and f(24micron) > 1 mJy, and is 35% complete for i' < 20.5 mag and 0.3 mJy < f(24micron) < 1 mJy. Our Hectospec survey includes 1078 and 168 objects spectroscopically classified as galaxies and QSOs, respectively. Combining the Hectospec and SDSS samples, we find 24 micron-selected galaxies to z < 0.98 and QSOs to z < 3.6, with mean redshifts of = 0.27 and =1.1. As part of this publication, we include the redshift catalogs and the reduced spectra; these are also available online (http://mips.as.arizona.edu/~papovich/fls) and through the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu).

Popular electoral support for party members in Chinese village elections : an alternative interpretation of elections results
Creators: name: Williams, Erin Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Since the introduction of elections into Chinese villages two decades ago, many have viewed these elections skeptically. These skeptics point to the disproportionately high percentage of Village Party Branch members elected to Village Committees as a sign that the Party is manipulating the elections to reassert their power at the village level. They conclude that the contours of rural political power have changed little since the commune era. I argue, alternatively, that the reason so many Party members are elected to VCs is that many peasants see it in their interest to vote for them. I use two sets of arguments to support this view. The first addresses whether the elections offer peasants meaningful choices among candidates. I argue that if we use an expanded concept of how constituents approach elections, we must conclude that peasants do have meaningful choices. The second addresses the question of how peasants respond to material uncertainty. I use the moral economy/rational peasant debate to show that when faced with material uncertainty, peasants respond by being conservative in their choices. I conclude that reform-era agricultural and economic policies have left many peasants in China's central grain belt feeling financially vulnerable. Faced with such uncertainties, they have adopted a "safety first" principle of minimizing risk while maximizing opportunities within the existing political and economic arrangements. Furthermore, the post-Mao economic reforms have necessitated a change in the criteria for Party membership, particularly at the village level. Because the Party now prioritizes economic development, it also prizes those Party members or potential members who possess the skills that further that goal. Voting for Party members can therefore not be considered a vote for the status quo.

description: For ground-based optical imaging with current CCD technology, the Poisson fluctuations in source and sky background photon arrivals dominate the noise budget and are readily estimated. Another component of noise, however, is the signal from the undetected population of stars and galaxies. Using injection of artificial galaxies into images, we demonstrate that the measured variance of galaxy moments (used for weak gravitational lensing measurements) in Dark Energy Survey (DES) images is significantly in excess of the Poisson predictions, by up to 30\%, and that the background sky levels are overestimated by current software. By cross-correlating distinct images of "empty" sky regions, we establish that there is a significant image noise contribution from undetected static sources (US), which on average are mildly resolved at DES resolution. Treating these US as a stationary noise source, we compute a correction to the moment covariance matrix expected from Poisson noise. The corrected covariance matrix matches the moment variances measured on the injected DES images to within 5\%. Thus we have an empirical method to statistically account for US in weak lensing measurements, rather than requiring extremely deep sky simulations. We also find that local sky determinations can remove the bias in flux measurements, at a small penalty in additional, but quantifiable, noise.

Universal behavior at discontinuous quantum phase transitions

description: Discontinuous quantum phase transitions besides their general interest are clearly relevant to the study of heavy fermions and magnetic transition metal compounds. Recent results show that in many systems belonging to these classes of materials, the magnetic transition changes from second order to first order as they approach the quantum critical point (QCP). We investigate here some mechanisms that may be responsible for this change. Specifically the coupling of the order parameter to soft modes and the competition between different types of order near the QCP. For weak first order quantum phase transitions general results are obtained. In particular we describe the thermodynamic behavior at this transition when it is approached from finite temperatures. This is the discontinuous equivalent of the non-Fermi liquid trajectory close to a conventional QCP in a heavy fermion material.

description: An energy of $362\:\text{MJ}$ is stored in each of the two LHC proton beams for nominal beam parameters. This will be further increased to about $700\:\text{MJ}$ in the future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and uncontrolled beam losses represent a significant hazard for the integrity and safe operation of the machine. In this paper, a number of failure mechanisms that can lead to a fast increase of beam losses are analyzed. Most critical are failures in the magnet protection system, namely the quench heaters and a novel protection system called Coupling-Loss Induced Quench (CLIQ). An important outcome is that magnet protection has to be evaluated for its impact on the beam and designed accordingly. In particular, CLIQ, which is to protect the new HL-LHC triplet magnets, constitutes the fastest known failure in the LHC if triggered spuriously. A schematic change of CLIQ to mitigate the hazard is presented. A loss of the Beam-Beam Kick due to the extraction of one beam is another source of beam losses with a fast onset. A significantly stronger impact is expected in the upcoming LHC Run III and HL-LHC as compared to the current LHC, mainly due to the increased bunch intensity. Its criticality and mitigation methods are discussed. It is shown that symmetric quenches in the superconducting magnets for the final focusing triplet can have a significant impact on the beam on short timescales. The impact on the beam due to failures of the Beam-Beam Compensating Wires as well as coherent excitations by the transverse beam damper are also discussed.

description: We consider two thin layers of immiscible liquids on a heated solid horizontal substrate. The free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces of such a two-layer (or bilayer) liquid film may be unstable due to effective molecular interactions or the Marangoni effect. Using a long wave approximation we derive coupled evolution equations for the interafce profiles for a general non-isothermal situation allowing for slip at the substrate. Linear and nonlinear analyses are performed for isothermal ultrathin layers below 100 nm thickness under the influence of destabilizing long-range and stabilizing short-range interactions. Flat films may be unstable to varicose, zigzag or mixed modes. During the long-time evolution the nonlinear mode type can change via switching between two different branches of stable stationary solutions or via coarsening along a single such branch.

description: Using 1996–97 and 2002–03 nationally representative household surveys, we examine the extent to which growth in Mozambique has been pro-poor. While all sections of society enjoyed a rapid annual increase in consumption between the sample periods, the rate of growth in consumption was slightly higher for richer households. This has led to a moderate increase in inequality at the national level, as demonstrated by the rise in the Gini coefficient from 0.40 to 0.42. However, this slight increase in inequality is not statistically significant, and its impact on poverty reduction efforts is small: the poverty headcount would have been 53.0 percent in 2002–03 if all sections of society had enjoyed the mean growth rate in consumption, compared with the 54.1 percent at which it actually stood. Interestingly, the use of the entropy class of inequality measures indicates that inequality in real consumption between provinces and regions has diminished over time, in contrast to popular claims. Maputo City continues to have the highest rates of inequality in the country; it witnessed a significant increase in inequality between 1996–97 and 2002–03 (the Gini coefficient rose from 0.44 to 0.52).

description: We show how complex modulated order can spontaneously emerge when magnetic interactions compete in a metal with polar lattice distortions. Combining neutron and resonant x-ray scattering with symmetry analysis, we reveal that the spin reorientation in Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ is mediated by a magnetic cycloid whose eccentricity evolves smoothly but rapidly with temperature. We find the cycloid to be highly sensitive to magnetic fields, which appear to continuously generate higher harmonic modulations. Our results provide a unified picture of the rich magnetic phases of this correlated, multi-band polar metal.

description: Agriculture, an ecosystem transformed by humans for the purpose of supplying food, fiber and biofuel, can provide people a host of benefits, or ecosystem services (ES). While markets exist for farm products, many of today’s central agro-environmental policy concerns are related to ES that lack complete markets, such as regulating ES and recreational, aesthetic and cultural ES. Valuation of non-marketed ES linked to agriculture is needed to improve their utilization and efficient provision. Some ES that facilitate agricultural production or provide natural amenities can be perceived by people through various natural resources and landscapes on farmlands and surrounding areas. One indirect way to measure the value of ES is via what people pay for the lands that provide them. In this hedonic study, the agricultural land price is used to reveal marginal values of those resources and landscapes, and to infer the degree of ES capitalization into land prices in southwestern Michigan. Results suggest that recreational and aesthetic services are largely capitalized through lakes, rivers, wetlands, woodlands and conservation lands. Some production-supporting regulating services may have also been partially capitalized. Certain ES from the land parcel and its surroundings are unlikely to be capitalized due to unawareness or little realized value (e.g., beneficial insects and soil microbial communities), as well as missing incentive for large scale public goods (e.g., carbon sequestration and biodiversity). In comparing sales prices and appraisal values, we find that sales prices reflect amenity benefits better than appraisal values, which tend to emphasize agricultural production potential and built capital values.

description: This work develops a full framework for non-Hermitian impurity physics in a non-reciprocal lattice, with PBCs, OBCs and even their interpolations being special cases across a whole range of boundary impurity strengths. As the impurity strength is tuned, the localization of steady states can assume very rich behavior, including the expected non-Hermitian skin effect, Bloch-like states albeit broken translational invariance, and surprisingly, scale-free accumulation along or even against the direction of non-reciprocity. We further uncover the possibility of the co-existence of non-Hermitian skin effect and scale-free localization, where qualitative aspects of the system's spectrum can be extremely sensitive to impurity strength. We have also proposed specific circuit setups for experimental detection of the scale-free accumulation, with simulation results confirming our main findings.

description: Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an emerging enteric pathogen that causes acute and chronic diarrhea in a number of clinical settings. EAEC diarrhea involves bacterial aggregation, adherence to intestinal epithelial cells and elaboration of several toxigenic bacterial mediators. The molecular pathogenesis of EAEC diarrhea is not understood completely. Flagellin (FliC-EAEC), a major bacterial surface protein of EAEC, has been shown to induce IL-8 release from several epithelial cell lines. The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms of IL-8 secretion by FliC-EAEC in epithelial cells lines. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been described as important component of the innate immune response in humans. It is known that host response to Gram-negative flagellin is mediated by TLR5, which signals through NF-KB to induce transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our results show that FliC-EAEC activates Akt (PKB) and 1-KB degradation (downstream targets of PI-3K) as observed in Western blots. Experiments with pharmacological inhibitors and dominant negative PI-3K indicated that PI-3K/Akt signaling is not necessary for FliC-EAEC induced IL-8 secretion. p38 MAP kinase is one of a family of stress-related kinases that influence a diverse range of cellular functions including inflammatory responses to microbial products. To determine whether this enzyme mediates IL-8 release, a pharmacological inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, SB 203580, was used to inhibit FliC-EAEC induced IL-8 release. We found that IL-8 secretion is regulated by p38 MAP kinase, which undergoes activation in Caco-2 and THP-1 cells, as determined by Western analysis. Exposure of HEp-2 cells transiently expressing TLR5 resulted in p38 MAP kinase dependent IL-8 secretion. Activation of IRAK was also observed in TLR5-transfected HEp-2 cells after treatment with FliC-EAEC. These results suggest that FliC-EAECinduced IL-8 secretion is regulated by p38 MAP kinase and involves TLR5 in epithelial cells.

description: The assumption of independence of irrelevant alternatives in a sequential contingent valuation format should be questioned. Statistically, most valuation studies treat nonindependence as a consequence of unobserved individual effects. Another approach is to consider an inferential process in which any particular choice is part of a general choosing strategy of a survey respondent. A stochastic model is suggested, consistent with the reflexivity, transitivity, and continuity axioms of utility analysis. An application of this theoretical model to the valuation of watershed ecosystem restoration demonstrates that an empirical model recognizing reflexivity and transitivity, and also allowing for continuity, shows the highest in-sample predictive ability.

description: We examine the late-time evolution of a qubit (or Unruh-De Witt detector) that hovers very near to the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, while interacting with a free quantum scalar field. The calculation is carried out perturbatively in the dimensionless qubit/field coupling $g$, but rather than computing the qubit excitation rate due to field interactions (as is often done), we instead use Open EFT techniques to compute the late-time evolution to all orders in $g^2 t/r_s$ (while neglecting order $g^4 t/r_s$ effects) where $r_s = 2GM$ is the Schwarzschild radius. We show that for qubits sufficiently close to the horizon the late-time evolution takes a simple universal form that depends only on the near-horizon geometry, assuming only that the quantum field is prepared in a Hadamard-type state (such as the Hartle-Hawking or Unruh vacua). When the redshifted energy difference, $ω_\infty$, between the two qubit states (as measured by a distant observer looking at the detector) satisfies $ω_\infty r_s \ll 1$ this universal evolution becomes Markovian and describes an exponential approach to equilibrium with the Hawking radiation, with the off-diagonal and diagonal components of the qubit density matrix relaxing to equilibrium with different characteristic times, both of order $r_s/g^2$.

description: An optical monitoring survey in the nearby dwarf galaxies was carried out with the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). 55 dwarf galaxies and four isolated globular clusters in the Local Group (LG) were observed with the Wide Field Camera (WFC). The main aims of this survey are to identify the most evolved asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and red supergiants at the end-point of their evolution based on their pulsational instability, use their distribution over luminosity to reconstruct the star formation history, quantify the dust production and mass loss from modelling the multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions, and relate this to luminosity and radius variations. In this first of a series of papers, we present the methodology of the variability survey and describe the photometric catalogue of Andromeda I (And I) dwarf galaxy as an example of the survey, and discuss the identified long period variable (LPV) stars. We detected 5581 stars and identified 59 LPV candidates within two half-light radii of the centre of And I. The amplitudes of these candidates range from 0.2 to 3 mag in the $i$-band. 75 % of detected sources and 98 % of LPV candidates are detected at mid-infrared wavelengths. We show evidence for the presence of dust-producing AGB stars in this galaxy including five extreme AGB (x-AGB) stars, and model some of their spectral energy distributions. A distance modulus of 24.41 mag for And I was determined based on the tip of the red giant branch (RGB). Also, a half-light radius of 3.2 arcmin is calculated.

Calculation of Optical Conductivity, Resistivity and Thermopower of Filled Skutterudite CeRu$_4$Sb$_{12}$ based on a Realistic Tight-binding Model with Strong Correlation

description: The filled-skutterudite compound CeRu$_4$Sb$_{12}$ shows a pseudo-gap structure in the optical conductivity spectra similar to the Kondo insulators, but metallic behavior below 80 K. The resistivity shows a large peak at 80 K, and the Seebeck coefficient is positive and also shows a large peak at nearly the same temperature. In order to explain all these features, a simplified tight-binding model, which captures the essential features of the band calculation, is proposed. Using this model and introducing the correlation effect within the framework of the dynamical mean field approximation and the iterative perturbation theory, the temperature dependences of the optical conductivity, resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient are calculated, which can explain the experiments.

description: This paper demonstrates how corner solutions raise difficulties for the specification, estimation, and use of incomplete demand systems for welfare measurement with disaggregate consumption data, as is common in the outdoor recreation literature. A simple analytical model of consumer behavior is used to elucidate the potential biases for welfare measurement arising from modeling the demand for M goods as a function of M + N prices (N > 1) and income when individuals do not consume all goods in strictly positive quantities. Results from a Monte Carlo experiment suggest that these biases can be substantial for large-scale policy shocks when prices are highly correlated.

description: Fluid dynamical calculations with QGP showed a softening of the directed flow while with hadronic matter this effect is absent. On the other hand, we indicated that a third flow component shows up in the reaction plane as an enhanced emission, which is orthogonal to the directed flow. This is not shadowed by the deflected projectile and target, and shows up at measurable rapidities, $y_cm = 1-2$. To study the formation of this effect initial stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied. An effective string rope model is presented for heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies. Our model takes into account baryon recoil for both target and projectile, arising from the acceleration of partons in an effective field. The typical field strength (string tension) for RHIC energies is about 5-12 GeV/fm, what allows us to talk about "string ropes". The results show that QGP forms a tilted disk, such that the direction of the largest pressure gradient stays in the reaction plane, but deviates from both the beam and the usual transverse flow directions. The produced initial state can be used as an initial condition for further hydrodynamical calculations. Such initial conditions lead to the creation of third flow component. Recent $v_1$ measurements are promising that this effect can be used as a diagnostic tool of the QGP. Collective flow is sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. To study the sensitivity of the flow signal, we have calculated flow harmonics from a Blast Wave model, a tilted, ellipsoidally expanding source. We studied recent experimental techniques used for calculation of the $v_n$ Fourier coefficients and pointed out a few possible problems connected to these techniques, which may impair the sensitivity of flow analysis.

title: Real-time pre-processing technique for drift detection, feature tracking, and feature selection using adaptive micro-clusters for data stream classification
Creators: name: Hammoodi, Mahmood Shakir

description: Data streams are unbounded, sequential data instances that are generated with high Velocity. Data streams arrive online (i.e., instance by instance) and there is no control over the order in which data instances arrive either within a data stream or across data streams. Classifying sequential data instances is a challenging problem in machine learning with applications in network intrusion detection, financial markets and sensor networks. The automatic labelling of unseen instances from the stream in real-time is the main challenge that data stream classification faces. For this, the classifier needs to adapt to concept drifts and can only have a single-pass through the data with a limited amount of memory if the stream is generating data instances at a high Velocity. Nowadays the focus of Data Stream Mining (DSM) lies in the development of data mining algorithms rather than on pre-processing techniques. To the best of the author knowledge, at present, there are no developments for truly real-time feature selection in a streaming setting. This research work presents a real-time pre-processing technique, in particular, feature tracking in combination with concept drift detection. The feature tracking is designed to improve DSM classification algorithms by enabling real-time feature selection. The pre-processing technique is based on tracking adaptive statistical summaries of the data and class label distributions, known as Micro-Clusters. Thus the three objectives of this research were to develop a real-time pre-processing technique that can (1) detect a concept drift, (2) identify features that were involved in concept drift and thus potentially change their relevance and (3) build a real-time feature selection method based on the developments mentioned above. The evaluation of the developed technique is based on artificial data streams with known ground truth and real datasets with and without artificially induced concept drift (i.e., controlled and uncontrolled real datasets). It was observed that the developed method for concept drift detection did detect induced concept drifts very well compared with alternative concept drift detection methods. Overall the research represents a first attempt to resolve real-time feature selection for DSM tasks. It has been shown that the technique can indeed identify concept drift, track features, and identify features that may have changed their relevance for the DSM task in real-time. It has also been shown that the developed method for real-time feature selection can improve the accuracy of data stream classification tasks.

description: In recent years, the out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) has emerged as a diagnostic tool for information scrambling in quantum many-body systems. Here, we present exact analytical results for the OTOC for a typical pair of random local operators supported over two regions of a bipartition. Quite remarkably, we show that this "bipartite OTOC" is equal to the operator entanglement of the evolution and we determine its interplay with entangling power. Furthermore, we compute long-time averages of the OTOC and reveal their connection with eigenstate entanglement. For Hamiltonian systems, we uncover a hierarchy of constraints over the structure of the spectrum and elucidate how this affects the equilibration value of the OTOC. Finally, we provide operational significance to this bipartite OTOC by unraveling intimate connections with average entropy production and scrambling of information at the level of quantum channels.
