description: This thesis comprises a literature review, a research paper and a critical review of the research process. In the literature review, meta-ethnography was used to identify and synthesise 13 qualitative studies that explored teachers’ experiences of supporting student mental health. A conceptual model was developed, highlighting: (1) the pressures on teachers to adopt this role despite limited training, (2) a choice around whether to accept this responsibility, (3) the use of personal resources and judgement, (4) facilitators and barriers to this process and (5) the personal impact that this had on teachers. Teachers’ readiness to support students’ mental health is highlighted, however their ability to accomplish this is dependent on the support of the system around them. The study presented in the research paper utilised a grounded theory methodology. Fourteen participants, including external advisors in trauma-informed education and members of senior leadership teams were interviewed to explore their experiences of developing and implementing a trauma-informed approach in primary schools. The findings present a preliminary model outlining the relational processes at each level of the school system that underlie trauma-informed change. These processes were underpinned by the principles of safety, trust, collaboration, compassion, belonging, regulation, and attunement to needs. The findings suggest a need to shift attention within this field from program content to system- wide relational processes. The critical appraisal explores the psychological theory underlying the relational processes found within the research paper and draws the findings of the literature review and empirical papers together. Reflections on the research process are offered, followed by wider considerations of the importance of context, and of insuring credibility of the approach. Finally, a case for the role of clinical psychology within this work is proposed.

description: Graphene sheets encapsulated between hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) slabs display superb electronic properties due to very limited scattering from extrinsic disorder sources such as Coulomb impurities and corrugations. Such samples are therefore expected to be ideal platforms for highly-tunable low-loss plasmonics in a wide spectral range. In this Article we present a theory of collective electron density oscillations in a graphene sheet encapsulated between two hBN semi-infinite slabs (hBN/G/hBN). Graphene plasmons hybridize with hBN optical phonons forming hybrid plasmon-phonon (HPP) modes. We focus on scattering of these modes against graphene's acoustic phonons and hBN optical phonons, two sources of scattering that are expected to play a key role in hBN/G/hBN stacks. We find that at room temperature the scattering against graphene's acoustic phonons is the dominant limiting factor for hBN/G/hBN stacks, yielding theoretical inverse damping ratios of hybrid plasmon-phonon modes of the order of $50$-$60$, with a weak dependence on carrier density and a strong dependence on illumination frequency. We confirm that the plasmon lifetime is not directly correlated with the mobility: in fact, it can be anti-correlated.

description: Myrcia bella Cambess (Myrtaceae) is an important and common plant, native to the Brazilian Cerrado, with cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties. Therefore, the effects of crude hydroalcoholic extract (CE) and fractions of ellagitannins (ELT) and flavonoids (FV) from Myrcia bella leaves were evaluated in a UMR-106 murine osteosarcoma cells and MC3T3 (normal cell). Cell viability and migration, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) −2 and −9 activities were evaluated. In general, CE (80 µg/mL), ELT (160 µg/mL) and FV (64 µg/mL) reduced cell viability (p < 0.05). FV (64 µg/mL) was more effective in inhibition of cell migration, ROS production, and MMP-2 activity when compared to CE and ELT. Myrcia bella a rich source of phenolic compounds and its fraction of flavonoids have cytotoxic effects on osteosarcoma cells, preserving the viability of normal osteoblasts. Due to its antioxidant capacity, flavonoid may be a new therapeutic strategy for cancer.

description: The most important challenge in the scaling down of flash memory is its increased inter-cell interference (ICI). If side information about ICI is known to the encoder, the flash memory channel can be viewed as similar to Costa's "writing on dirty paper (dirty paper coding)." We first explain why flash memories are dirty due to ICI. We then show that "dirty flash memory" can be changed into "memory with defective cells" model by using only one pre-read operation. The asymmetry between write and erase operations in flash memory plays an important role in this change. Based on the "memory with defective cells" model, we show that additive encoding can significantly improve the probability of decoding failure by using the side information.

description: We present the results of searches for anisotropy in the right ascension ($RA$) distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays (CRs) detected with the Yakutsk array during the 1974--2008 observational period in the energy range above $10^{18}$ eV. Two methods of analysis are applied to two sub-samples of the data. Particularly, estimations of the first and second harmonic amplitudes are given, as well as the first harmonic phase in adjacent energy intervals. Analysis of variance demonstrates a significant contraction of the minimal width of the $RA$ distribution in the energy bin $(10^{19},1.78\times10^{19})$ eV with respect to the isotropic distribution, which may be attributed to a possible source of CRs within the interval $RA\in(15^0,45^0)$.

description: We study the key factor to determine the dimensionless spin parameter $j\equiv cJ/(GM^2)$ of different kinds of uniformly rotating compact stars, including the traditional neutron stars, hyperonic neutron stars, and hybrid stars, and check the reliability of the results on various types of equations of state of dense matter. The equations of state from the relativistic mean field theory and the MIT bag model are adopted to simulate compact stars. Numerical calculations of rigidly rotating neutron stars are performed using the RNS code in the framework of general relativity by solving the Einstein equations for stationary axis-symmetric spacetime. The crust structure of compact stars is found to be a key factor to determine the maximum value of the spin parameter $j_{\rm max}$. For the stars with inclusion of the crust, $j_{\rm max}\sim 0.7$ is sustained for various kinds of compact stars with $M>0.5 M_{\odot}$, and is found to be insensitive to the mass of star and selected equations of state. For the traditional neutron stars, hyperonic neutron stars and hybrid stars without crust structure, the value $j_{\rm max}$ lies in the range of $[0.7, 1.0]$. Thus, not $j>0.7$ but $j>1$ could be treated as the candidate criterion to distinguish the strange quark stars from the other kinds of compact stars. Furthermore, a universal formula $j=0.48(f/f_K)^3-0.42(f/f_K)^2+0.63(f/f_K)$ is suggested to calculate the spin parameter at any rotational frequency for all kinds of compact stars with crust structure and $M>0.5M_{\odot}$.

description: Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) is considered as a major drug target for the treatment of hypertension as it catalyses the production of vasoconstrictor angiotensin II from angiotensin I. ACE inhibitor agents are an effective therapeutic strategy to control high blood pressure. Unprecedented polyether macrolides, marginolide A and B were isolated from the crude extract of marine octopus, Amphioctopus marginatus via bioassay-directed sequential chromatographic fractionation. Marginolide A displayed considerably greater ACE attenuation potential (IC50 0.58 mM) than that exhibited by marginolide B (IC50 0.72 mM). Higher antioxidant properties of marginolide A against the oxidant species (IC50 ∼ 1 mM) also supported its potential ACE inhibitory activity. Higher polar characteristics along with acceptable hydrophobic-hydrophilic equilibrium (partition coefficient of octanol-water, log Pow 2–4) revealed the potential anti-hypertensive activities of marginolides. This study recognized the anti-hypertensive properties of marginolides as promising pharmaceutical leads.

description: The rapid development of technologies used in computers and consumer electronics is founded in modern condensed matter physics. Advances in the physics of lasers, semiconductors and nanofabrication have enabled precise control of charge transport down to the nanoscale. As the use of electronics grows, energy consumption is becoming an increasingly important issue. One possible path to energy‑efficient technologies is to utilise spin transport in magnetic materials. However, the desirable level of control over magnetic transport is yet to be achieved. Materials with significant electron‑electron interactions, usually called strongly correlated systems, are promising platforms for future technologies. These materials host a range of fascinating phenomena, such as superconductivity, electronic nematicity and various magnetic orders. The ruthenates are a family of materials where many different magnetic ground states are realised. To understand how these magnetic phases emerge and how they can be manipulated, microscopic knowledge of their electronic structure is indispensable. In this thesis, I present a study of magnetism on surfaces of several compounds in the Ruddlesden Popper series of ruthenates, combining low‑temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy in a vector magnet field with theoretical modelling. I show how tiny structural changes at the surface can lead to dramatic changes in magnetic and electronic properties, such as suppression of superconductivity, metal‑to‑insulator transition and stabilisation of magnetic order. In cases where the surface is magnetic, the interplay between magnetism and spin‑orbit coupling makes the electronic properties very sensitive to an external field. This work explored the response of ruthenates to a magnetic field, providing insight into the interplay between their electronic and magnetic structures. Building on this knowledge, other control parameters, such as mechanical strain, electric current or light pulses, could be employed to engineer novel magnetic and electronic states. The materials presented in this work are thus prime candidates for developing future spin‑based electronics.

description: In this paper the theory of robust output regulation of distributed parameter systems with infinite-dimensional exosystems is extended for plants with unbounded control and observation. As the main result, we present the internal model principle for linear infinite-dimensional systems with unbounded input and output operators. We do this for two different definitions of an internal model found in the literature, namely, the p-copy internal model and the $\mathcal{G}$-conditions. We also introduce a new way of defining an internal model for infinite-dimensional systems. The theoretic results are illustrated with an example where we consider robust output tracking for a one-dimensional heat equation with boundary control and pointwise measurements.

description: Numerical simulations of the geodynamo (and other planetary dynamos) have made significant progress in recent years. As computing power has advanced, some new models claim to be ever more appropriate for understanding Earth's core dynamics. One measure of the success of such models is the ability to replicate the expected balance between forces operating within the core; Coriolis and Lorentz forces are predicted to be most important. The picture is complicated for an incompressible flow by the existence of the pressure gradient force which renders the gradient parts of all other forces dynamically unimportant. This can confuse the situation, especially when the scale dependence of forces are considered. In this work we investigate force balances through the alternative approach of eliminating gradient parts of each force to form `solenoidal force balances'. We perform a lengthscale dependent analysis for several spherical simulations and find that removal of gradient parts offers an alternative picture of the force balance compared to looking at traditional forces alone. Solenoidal force balances provide some agreement with the results of previous studies but also significant differences. They offer a cleaner overall picture of the dynamics and introduce differences at smaller scales. This has implications for geodynamo models purporting to have reached Earth-like regimes: in order to achieve a meaningful comparison of forces, only the solenoidal part of forces should be considered.

description: We study cosets of the type $H_l/U(1)^r$, where $H$ is any Lie algebra at level $l$ and rank $r$. These theories are parafermionic and their characters are related to the string functions, which are generating functions for the multiplicities of weights in the affine representations. An identity for the characters is described, which apply to all the algebras and all the levels. The expression is of the Rogers Ramanujan type. We verify this conjecture, for many algebras and levels, using Freudenthal Kac formula, which calculates the multiplicities in the affine representations, recursively, up to some grade. Our conjecture encapsulates all the known results about these string functions, along with giving a vast wealth of new ones.

description: Selenium (Se) is essential to human health, yet harmful in high doses. Of the water-soluble Se redox species, Se(IV) readily adsorbs onto iron and aluminium oxides. Se(VI), the dominant form in oxygenated waters, is more mobile and less readily adsorbed. In this study, the removal of Se(VI) by reduction with Fe(II) to Se(IV) and subsequent adsorption onto iron hydroxides is investigated in a pilot plant for biological iron and manganese removal from groundwater to investigate an economical approach for Se removal during drinking water production. While Se(IV) is removed by up to 90%, Se(VI) shows no removal over 48 h. In batch-shaking tests, the adsorption of Se(IV) and Se(VI) onto iron hydroxides with and without addition of Fe(II) or dithionite as reducing agents was studied. Se(IV) was removed to a greater extent by adsorption than Se(VI) (7% and 2.6%, respectively, at a starting concentration of 0.1 mg/L) and the addition of reducing agents resulted in no significantly higher removal of Se(VI). Reducing Se(VI) with Fe(II) or dithionite and consequent adsorption onto iron hydroxides can therefore be excluded as viable removal mechanism for Se(VI).

description: Se si vuole assegnare a De Luca un posto nella Letteratura Italiana, si deve innanzi tutto tralasciare tutta la sua produzione di letteratura, così detta amena, dal 1900 in poi. Questo in generale è il giudizio dei pochi, che si sono occupati di lui. Diverso giudizio si può avere sulla partecipazione del De Luca al movimento veristico – regionalista nel quale senz’altro deve essere inseritala produzione precedente. Quando De Luca, si trasferisce a Milano, ha già dato il meglio di se stesso, più tardi rielaborerà, migliorerà nella forma i due romanzi più impegnativi Alle porte della felicità e Le ambiziose, scritti molto tempo prima. Proprio questa produzione verista, ingiustamente dimenticata, vale la pena invece ricordare, inquadrando anche De Luca nel breve scorcio napoletano degli anni ’80, così fervido di personalità e di fantasia creativa. ..

description: If you want to assign a place to Pasquale De Luca in Italian Literature, first you must leave out all his Italian Literature production, so pleasant, from 1900 onwards. This is generally the judgement of the few, who have dealt with him. Different Opinions you may have about the participation of Pasquale De Luca to the Verismo Movement, a regionalist production that, without doubt, must be included in. When Pasquale De Luca moved to Milan, he had already given the best of himself. Later he will elaborate and improve the two most challenging novels AlleportedellaFelicità( At the door of Happiness)and Le Ambiziose (The ambitious women), written long before. It is worth remembering now just this Verismo production, unjustly forgotten, also framing De Luca in the short Neapolitan glimpse of the ‘80s, with his fervid personality and creative imagination. ..

description: HIV is a public health problem, which makes necessary the development of new drugs. Natural products are known for their anti-HIV potential and a good strategy to suggest its mechanism of action is using in silico tools. Herein, diterpenes 1-3 had the binding mode evaluated in the HIV-1 glycoprotein; and properties ADMET in silico performed. In molecular docking important interactions between the hydrophobic cavity, and 1 and 2 were observed. In the molecular dynamics, 1 remained stable covering the entire hydrophobic cavity and performed hydrogen bond during all simulation. ADMET evaluation showed good properties for the diterpenes. Based on these findings, it was possible to suggest the potential from natural products as entry inhibitor and HIV-1 treatment.

description: Myrcia bella Cambess (Myrtaceae) is an important and common plant, native to the Brazilian Cerrado, with cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties. Therefore, the effects of crude hydroalcoholic extract (CE) and fractions of ellagitannins (ELT) and flavonoids (FV) from Myrcia bella leaves were evaluated in a UMR-106 murine osteosarcoma cells and MC3T3 (normal cell). Cell viability and migration, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) −2 and −9 activities were evaluated. In general, CE (80 µg/mL), ELT (160 µg/mL) and FV (64 µg/mL) reduced cell viability (p < 0.05). FV (64 µg/mL) was more effective in inhibition of cell migration, ROS production, and MMP-2 activity when compared to CE and ELT. Myrcia bella a rich source of phenolic compounds and its fraction of flavonoids have cytotoxic effects on osteosarcoma cells, preserving the viability of normal osteoblasts. Due to its antioxidant capacity, flavonoid may be a new therapeutic strategy for cancer.

description: The tunability of Ar+ ion irradiation of Co/Pd multilayers has been employed to create depth-dependent perpendicular anisotropy gradients. By adjusting the Ar+ kinetic energy and fluence, the depth and lateral density of the local structural modification are controlled. First-order reversal curve analysis through X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and conventional magnetometry studies show that the local structural damage weakens the perpendicular anisotropy near the surface, leading to a magnetization tilting towards the in-plane direction. The ion irradiation method is complementary to, and may be used in conjunction with, other synthesis approaches to maximize the anisotropy gradient.

description: Patulin (PAT) is a natural product isolated from several species of fungi. Here, we evaluated the effect of PAT (62.5–4,000 ng/ml) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine peritoneal macrophages. Cell viability assay showed that PAT at concentrations up to 250 ng/ml did not affect macrophage viability. PAT (250 ng/ml) significantly reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide production (by 98.4%), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression (by 83.5%), and iNOS messenger ribonucleic acid expression (by 100.0%). Moreover, PAT significantly reduced LPS-induced interleukin-1β (by 80.6%), cluster of differentiation (CD) 69 (by 63.1%), and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 (by 91.9%) protein expression. Finally, PAT significantly reduced LPS-triggered phosphorylation of all mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) assessed: extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; by 89.5%), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK; by 77.5%), and p38 (by 72.3%). Taken together, these data suggest that PAT downregulates acute inflammatory response, inhibiting nitric oxide production by suppressing CD69-TLR4/ERK-JNK-p38 MAPKs/Nos2/iNOS signaling pathway.
title: Chinese-language internet-based media consumption of Chinese people in the UK and their intercultural adaptation
Creators: name: Li, Siqi
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores the Chinese-language internet-based media use of Chinese people in the UK, and further discusses how this kind of media use and consumption impacts on their intercultural adaptation and the construction of their cultural identity. The development of globalisation has intensified the growth of population movement worldwide. Since the twenty-first century, the flow of Chinese population around the world has not stopped (Zhou, 2017). Intercultural individuals are usually on the cutting edge of new technology adoptions (Brinkerhoff, 2009). A growing body of research has been conducted to discuss the ethnic media consumption of intercultural individuals in this new media age, this research follows this direction and explores the role of Chinese-language internet-based media in the intercultural lives of Chinese people in the UK. This thesis constructs a theoretical framework for research on the relationship between the mother-language media use of intercultural individuals and their intercultural adaptation process. This study aims to fill several research gaps in the research area of the media use of Chinese people in the UK, as well as their intercultural adaptation and cultural identity. This research project adopts an explanatory sequential, mixed methods approach, using a questionnaire survey, focus groups, and semi-structured, in-depth interviews to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The heart of the thesis contains three parts that respectively correspond to the three findings’ chapters of this thesis. They reveal the varied media life of Chinese people in the UK, the present intercultural adaptation status of Chinese people in the UK, and how the media use of Chinese people in the UK affects intercultural adaptation and identity construction. In general, this research suggests that the current Chinese-language internet-based media consumption of Chinese people in the UK is dominated by social media and accessed via mobile devices. Meanwhile, Chinese-language internet-based media can support Chinese people in the UK with both their psychological and sociocultural adaptation, as well as sustaining their Chinese cultural identity by provide a virtual Chinese cultural environment online. This research contributes new knowledge and empirical data on media consumption, intercultural adaptation status, and cultural identity features of different groups of Chinese people in the UK within the current transnational flow and global new media context.

description: Examining the case of Vladimir Nabokov’s Russian novel Dar and its English translation The Gift, this paper offers a reflection on translatability of an intertextual presence in a literary text. In particular, the paper focuses on the allusions to the works and life of Alexander Pushkin, whose figure plays a significant role in the development of the novel’s main character. Pushkin’s presence permeates the text at several levels and the maintenance of this intertextual connection was indeed one of the challenges for the American version of the book, which was translated by Michael Scammell and Dmitri Nabokov with the collaboration of the author.

description: The discovery of topological phases in condensed matter systems has changed the modern conception of phases of matter. The global nature of topological ordering makes these phases robust and hence promising for applications. However, the non-locality of this ordering makes direct experimental studies an outstanding challenge, even in the simplest model topological systems, and interactions among the constituent particles adds to this challenge. Here we demonstrate a novel dynamical method to explore topological phases in both interacting and non-interacting systems, by employing the exquisite control afforded by state-of-the-art superconducting quantum circuits. We utilize this method to experimentally explore the well-known Haldane model of topological phase transitions by directly measuring the topological invariants of the system. We construct the topological phase diagram of this model and visualize the microscopic evolution of states across the phase transition, tasks whose experimental realizations have remained elusive. Furthermore, we developed a new qubit architecture that allows simultaneous control over every term in a two-qubit Hamiltonian, with which we extend our studies to an interacting Hamiltonian and discover the emergence of an interaction-induced topological phase. Our implementation, involving the measurement of both global and local textures of quantum systems, is close to the original idea of quantum simulation as envisioned by R. Feynman, where a controllable quantum system is used to investigate otherwise inaccessible quantum phenomena. This approach demonstrates the potential of superconducting qubits for quantum simulation and establishes a powerful platform for the study of topological phases in quantum systems.
