A Collaborative Investigation of the Experiences of Elders Using an Older Adult Home Treatment Team: From Understanding to Action
Creators: name: Adamczyk, Lucy
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: Introduction: Older Adult Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Teams (OA-CRHTT) have become more prominent in NHS services in recent years. The research on such services thus far has focused on the business aspect of measures, namely hospital admissions. There is no current evidence exploring the experiences of elders using these services, and how these services are perceived by elders. Method: Five co-researchers were recruited from an OA-CRHTT in inner London, and agreed to engage in a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project. Narrative analysis was used to investigate how the co-researchers experienced support from the OA-CRHTT. A particular focus was paid to the element of action based on the findings of this research project. Narrative stories were created using a collaborative framework. The data was analysed by first creating personal narratives and then having a group collective statement based on these narratives. Results: The interpretation from the personal narratives suggest that elders who have not had prior experience with mental health services require support in understanding the service and how it operates and what it is meant to provide, and that stigma played a role in perceptions of engaging with an acute community mental health team. Humanising care was reported as the main factor of what elders found as useful, with a need for understanding and good assessment to be achieved. Discussion: Co-researchers each presented different aspects of what they found helpful about the service, steeped in their own context and experience of services. The need for dominant narratives regarding elders about the ability for services to be responsive to these was imperative. Implications for the research highlight the need for further investigation of elder views of the workings of CRHTT for elders, specifically hearing from people who are diagnosed with dementia, and elders from marginalised groups.

description: Cosmological weak lensing by the large scale structure of the Universe, cosmic shear, is coming of age as a powerful probe of the parameters describing the cosmological model and matter power spectrum. It complements CMB studies, by breaking degeneracies and providing a cross-check. An important measure of the cosmic shear signal are the shear correlation functions; these can be directly calculated from data, and compared with theoretical expectations for different cosmological models and matter power spectra. We present a Monte Carlo method to quickly simulate mock cosmic shear surveys. One application of this method is in the determination of the full covariance matrix for the correlation functions; this includes redshift binning and is applicable to arbitrary survey geometries. Terms arising from shot noise and cosmic variance (dominant on small and large scales respectively) are accounted for naturally. As an illustration of the use of such covariance matrices, we consider to what degree confidence regions on parameters are tightened when redshift binning is employed. The parameters considered are those commonly discussed in cosmic shear analyses - the matter density parameter, dark energy density parameter (classical cosmological constant), power spectrum normalisation and shape parameter. We incorporate our covariance matrices into a likelihood treatment, and also use the Fisher formalism to explore a larger region of parameter space (abridged).

description: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to an economic contraction in the United States in 2020, predictably leading to an increase in the dollar amount of food assistance benefits issued to households. Previous economic downturns provide limited precedent to understand the growth in food assistance benefits during this pandemic, especially considering the speed of the economic contraction and the policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. To quantify part of the growth in food assistance benefits, this analysis explores monthly patterns in combined Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) redemptions through September 2020, compares these patterns with recent years, and explores changes in the types of food retailers at which redemptions are made. This analysis uses 2017-20 data from the Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS) Store Tracking and Redemption System (STARS) on the monthly value and store type of SNAP and P-EBT benefit redemptions, as well as data from the Economic Research Service’s (ERS) Food Expenditure Series on the value of food-at-home expenditures. Overall, an average of $8.4 billion in combined SNAP and P-EBT benefits were redeemed per month during the 6-month period of April through September 2020—an increase of 86.4 percent compared to the same period in 2019. These benefits accounted for an average of 11.7 percent of expenditures on food at home during the April-September 2020 period—an increase of 72.1 percent compared to the same period in 2019. The share of benefits redeemed at super stores increased, while the share of benefits redeemed at other store types decreased relative to previous years. The value of benefits redeemed online also grew quickly, from $2.9 million in February 2020 to $196.3 million in September 2020. By September, online redemptions accounted for 2.4 percent of the total value.

description: Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) have become the most popular measures of market risk in Financial and Insurance fields. However, the estimation of both risk measures is challenging, because it requires the knowledge of the tail of the distribution. Therefore, tools from Extreme Value Theory are usually employed, considering that the tail data follow a Generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). Using the existing relations from the parameters of the baseline distribution and the limit GPD's parameters, we define highly informative priors that incorporate all the information available for the whole set of observations. We show how to perform Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm to estimate VaR and CVaR employing the highly informative priors, in the case of exponential, stable and Gamma distributions. Afterwards, we perform a thorough simulation study to compare the accuracy and precision provided by three different methods. Finally, data from a real example is analyzed to show the practical application of the methods.

description: When considering adoption or intensification of existing conservation practices, farmers have unique, subjective views of the associated risks. These individual risk perceptions could have important implications for conservation adoption or intensification. As a result, traditional policy approaches to encourage conservation agriculture may be inefficient. This study examines conservation adoption, with special consideration given to yield-risk perceptions. We present a conceptual model of perceived yield risk and estimate bivariate probit models using survey data. Results indicate that positive practice perceptions, particularly with respect to soil fertility, and opportunities for on-farm trialing may encourage adoption.

description: One of the outstanding mysteries surrounding the rich diversity found in supernova remnants (SNRs) is the recent discovery of over-ionized or recombining plasma from a number of dynamically evolved objects. To help decipher its formation mechanism, we have developed a new simulation framework capable of modeling the time evolution of the ionization state of the plasma in an SNR. The platform is based on a one-dimensional hydrodynamics code coupled to a fully time-dependent non-equilibrium ionization calculation, accompanied by a spectral synthesis code to generate space-resolved broadband X-ray spectra for SNRs at arbitrary ages. We perform a comprehensive parametric survey to investigate the effects of different circumstellar environments on the ionization state evolution in SNRs up to a few 10,000 years. A two-dimensional parameter space, spanned by arrays of interstellar medium (ISM) densities and mass-loss rates of the progenitor, is used to create a grid of models for the surrounding environment, in which a core-collapse explosion is triggered. Our results show that a recombining plasma can be successfully reproduced in the case of a young SNR (a few 100 to 1,000 years old) expanding fast in a spatially extended low-density wind, an old SNR (> a few 1,000 years) expanding in a dense ISM, or an old SNR broken out from a confined dense wind region into a tenuous ISM. Finally, our models are confronted with observations of evolved SNRs, and an overall good agreement is found except for a couple of outliers.

participants to gain training in 3D printing technology. The technology was explored
as an avenue in which they could be creative, and also design solutions for
their own specific problems. An
external evaluation of the project was undertaken, focusing on participant
reaction, with the analysis compiled as a report. The findings from this pilot project were very positive, with the
document identifying the benefits gained by participants and providing
constructive suggestions regarding the way forward. The
most important messages to emerge were that participants wanted an opportunity
to engage in a more formal programme of training, and a chance to develop
expertise through work experience. This
has led to two further pieces of work: 1.
An investigation of employer
perceptions (published separately) and 2.
An investigation of the experiences of the project’s technical facilitators
(this report). This
exploration was undertaken by carrying out a series of in-depth interviews with
technical facilitators from the original project. This report provides a
detailed analysis of the evidence generated from these interviews. The second (featured in this report) explored the impact that the original
training initiative had on professional practices, based on the responses of
the facilitators.

description: We present 637 low-redshift optical spectra collected by the Berkeley Supernova Ia Program (BSNIP) between 2009 and 2018, almost entirely with the Kast double spectrograph on the Shane 3~m telescope at Lick Observatory. We describe our automated spectral classification scheme and arrive at a final set of 626 spectra (of 242 objects) that are unambiguously classified as belonging to Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia). Of these, 70 spectra of 30 objects are classified as spectroscopically peculiar (i.e., not matching the spectral signatures of "normal" SNe~Ia) and 79 SNe~Ia (covered by 328 spectra) have complementary photometric coverage. The median SN in our final set has one epoch of spectroscopy, has a redshift of 0.0208 (with a low of 0.0007 and high of 0.1921), and is first observed spectroscopically 1.1 days after maximum light. The constituent spectra are of high quality, with a median signal-to-noise ratio of 31.8 pixel$^{-1}$, and have broad wavelength coverage, with $\sim 95\%$ covering at least 3700--9800~Å. We analyze our dataset, focusing on quantitative measurements (e.g., velocities, pseudo-equivalent widths) of the evolution of prominent spectral features in the available early-time and late-time spectra. The data are available to the community, and we encourage future studies to incorporate our spectra in their analyses.

Many resonance patterns of this microcavity, with refractive indices $n=2$ and 3, exhibit strong localization of simple geometric shape, and we call them {\em quasi-scarred resonances} in the sense that there is, unlike the conventional scarring, no underlying periodic orbits. It is shown that the formation of quasi-scarred pattern can be understood in ter ms of ray dynamical probability distributions and wave properties like uncertainty and interference.

Two such germs are known to be isomorphic if and only if the toric surfaces corresponding to them are equivariantly isomorphic. We extend this result to higher-dimensional Hirzebruch-Jung singularities, which we define to be the germs analytically isomorphic to the germ at the 0-dimensional orbit of an affine toric variety determined by a lattice and a simplicial cone of maximal dimension. We deduce a normalization algorithm for quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularities.

A sufficient condition is exhibited for the existence of global $C^{1,1}$-isometric immersions. Our developments are based on the framework à la Labourie (Immersions isométriques elliptiques et courbes pseudo-holomorphes, J. Diff.

Both initial configurations had the same volume fraction, but due to the different precompaction procedure completely different principal stresses. After a transient which lasts only less than a period, the stresses follow the same periodic function, i.e. the powder forgot its history.

Preparing beginning principals and vice-principals for educational leadership
Creators: name: Burt, James G.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Recently, there has been increased awareness of the important role that principals and vice-principals have in schools and a realization that many of the incumbents will soon be retiring, leaving a large percentage of schools with inexperienced leaders. This project examines how school districts in British Columbia and the British Columbia Principal and Vice-Principal Association view the complex role of principals and vice-principals by analyzing a number of recent principal and vice-principal job posting postings, as well as taking a critical look at the British Columbia Principal and Vice-Principal Association’s Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals. I then describe and critique various attempts that education leadership programs are using to support new school administrators. The majority of programs in British Columbia do not include formal practicums, are rich in leadership theory and focus on many of the administrative responsibilities associated with the day to day realities of being a principal or vice-principal. Educational leadership is often lumped in with other forms of leadership and the project examines why this can be potentially problematic for emerging educational leaders. Using personal experiences as a beginning school administrator going through an educational leadership program, I identify some of the pros and the cons for principals and vice-principals in these programs. I conclude by arguing that unless both educational leadership programs and school districts are committed to helping beginning principals and vice-principals better understand their own beliefs about what is educationally important and the importance of working with partner groups to help create that environment for students, we will continue to fill the vacancies for principal and vice-principal positions, but perhaps with the wrong people.

description: In this paper, we define the 3D printing routing problem, the problem of finding the optimal path of the nozzle in a fused deposition modeling 3D printing system, so as to minimize the time required to create on object. We formally model the problem with an integer linear programming formulation and then solve it via heuristic algorithms. We test the algorithms on a set of large-size real-life instances, comparing them with one of the most widely used open source software for the problem. We show that large time reductions can be obtained. We finally propose a set of interesting directions for future research.

description: NGC 602 is a young, low-metallicity star cluster in the "Wing" of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We reveal the recent evolutionary past of the cluster through analysis of high-resolution ($\sim$0.4 pc) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of molecular gas in the associated $\textrm{H}\scriptstyle\mathrm{II}$ region N90. We identify 110 molecular clumps ($R <$ 0.8 pc) traced by CO emission, and study the relationship between the clumps and associated young stellar objects (YSOs) and pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. The clumps have high virial parameters (typical $α_{\rm{vir}} = $ 4-11) and may retain signatures of a collision in the last $\lesssim$8 Myr between $\textrm{H}\scriptstyle\mathrm{I}$ components of the adjacent supergiant shell SMC-SGS 1. We obtain a CO-bright-to-H$_2$ gas conversion factor of $X_{CO,B} = (3.4 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$ (K km s$^{-1}$)$^{-1}$, and correct observed clump properties for CO-dark H$_2$ gas to derive a total molecular gas mass in N90 of $16,600 \pm 2,400 \ M_\odot$. We derive a recent ($\lesssim 1$ Myr) star formation rate of $130 \pm 30 \ M_{\odot}$ Myr$^{-1}$ with an efficiency of 8 $ \pm$ 3\% assessed through comparing total YSO mass to total molecular gas mass. Very few significant radial trends exist between clump properties or PMS star ages and distance from NGC 602. We do not find evidence for a triggered star formation scenario among the youngest ($\lesssim$2 Myr) stellar generations, and instead conclude that a sequential star formation process in which NGC 602 did not directly cause recent star formation in the region is likely.

description: The investments’ developement of the agroalimentary sector implies on one side the developement and the modernising of the prime sector, of producing raw materials and on the other side, the developement and modernising of the processing industry for obtaining high quality alimentary products with a competitive prime cost. A considerable volume of financial resources has to be allocated for the agroalimentary sector. The allocating policy of the financial resources should take into account two main desiderata. First, the budgetary allocations to be restrictive, oriented towards those sectors that allow a rapid developement and that have in the end as impact a growth of taxes and contributions due to the state, and second, the credits should be attractive, but in such a way as to be accessed only those beneficiaries that can assure an eficient developement. The typology of economical and financial-monetary instruments use to radically and structurally influence the entire system of the agroalimentary sector can be spread in groups, wherethrough specific statal politics of action in economy can be created.

description: First order ferromagnetic (FM) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition in doped-CeFe$_2$ alloys is studied with micro-Hall probe technique. Clear visual evidence of magnetic phase-coexistence on micrometer scales and the evolution of this phase-coexistence as a function of temperature, magnetic field and time across the first order FM-AFM transition is presented. Such phase-coexistence and metastability arise as natural consequence of an intrinsic disorder-influenced first order transition. Generality of this phenomena involving other classes of materials is discussed.

description: The ratio of the photon mediated production or annihilation rates of spin triplet and spin singlet heavy quarkonium states is computed to the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy within the nonrelativistic renormalization group approach. The result is presented in analytical form and applied to the phenomenology of $t\bar{t}$, $b\bar{b}$ and $c\bar{c}$ systems. The use of the nonrelativistic renormalization group considerably improves the behaviour of the perturbative expansion and is crucial for accurate theoretical analysis. For bottomonium decays we predict $Γ(η_b(1S) \to γγ)=0.659\pm 0.089 ({\rm th.}) {}^{+0.019}_{-0.018} (δα_{\rm s})\pm 0.015 ({\rm exp.}) {\rm keV}$. Our results question the accuracy of the existing extractions of the strong coupling constant from the bottomonium annihilation. As a by-product we obtain novel corrections to the ratio of the ortho- and parapositronium decay rates: the corrections of order $α^4\ln^2α$ and $α^5\ln^3α$.

description: The second virial coefficient for the Mie potential is evaluated using the method of brackets. This method converts a definite integral into a series in the parameters of the problem, in this case this is the temperature $T$. The results obtained here are consistent with some known special cases, such as the Lenard-Jones potential. The asymptotic properties of the second virial coefficient in molecular thermodynamic systems and complex fluid modeling are described in the limiting cases of $T \rightarrow 0$ and $T \rightarrow \infty$.

Entanglement preservation in quantum cloning

description: Recently Galvão and Hardy have shown that quantum cloning can improve the performance of some quantum computation tasks. However such performance enhancement is possible only if quantum correlations survive the cloning process. We investigate preservation of the quantum correlations in the process of non--local cloning of entangled pairs of two--level systems. We consider different kinds of quantum cloning machines and compare their effectiveness in the cloning of non--maximally entangled pure states. A mean entanglement is introduced in order to obtain a quantitative evaluation of an average efficiency for the different cloning machines. We show that a reduction of the quantum correlations is significant and it strongly depends upon the kind of cloning machine used. Losses of the entanglement are largest in the case of the universal quantum cloning machine. Generally, in all cases considered the losses of the entanglement are so drastic that the method of enhancement for the performance of the quantum computation using the quantum cloning seems to be questionable.

description: This study is a part of the Cosmicflows-4 project with the aim of measuring the distances of more than ~10,000 spiral galaxies in the local universe up to ~15,000 km/s. New HI linewidth information has come primarily from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey. Photometry of our sample galaxies has been carried out in optical (SDSS u, g, r, i, z) and infrared (WISE W1 and W2) bands. Inclinations have been determined using an online graphical interface accessible to a collaboration of citizen scientists. Galaxy distances are measured based on the correlation between the rotation rate of spirals and their absolute luminosity, known as the Tully-Fisher Relation (TFR). In this study, we present the calibration of the TFR using a subsample of ~600 spirals located in 20 galaxy clusters. Correlations among such observables as color, surface brightness, and relative HI content are explored in an attempt to reduce the scatter about the TFR with the goal of obtaining more accurate distances. A preliminary determination of the Hubble constant from the distances and velocities of the calibrator clusters is H0=76.0+-1.1(stat.)+-2.3(sys.) km/s/Mpc.

description: Particle acceleration physics at supernova remnant (SNR) shocks is one of the most intriguing problems in astrophysics. SNR RCW~86 provides a suitable environment for understanding the particle acceleration physics because one can extract the information of both accelerated particles and acceleration environment at the same regions through the bright X-ray emission. In this work, we study X-ray proper motions and spectral properties of the southwestern region of RCW~86. The proper motion velocities are found to be $\sim 300$--2000~km~s$^{-1}$ at a distance of 2.8~kpc. We find two inward-moving filaments, which are more likely reflected shocks rather than reverse shocks. Based on the X-ray spectroscopy, we evaluate thermal parameters such as the ambient density and temperature, and non-thermal parameters such as the power-law flux and index. From the flux decrease in time of several non-thermal filaments, we estimate the magnetic field amplitudes to be $\sim 30$--100~$μ$G. Gathering the physical parameters, we then investigate parameter correlations. We find that the synchrotron emission from thermal-dominated filaments is correlated with the ambient density $n_{\rm e}$ as $\text{(power-law flux)} \propto n_{\rm e}^{1.0 \pm 0.2}$ and $\text{(power-law index)} \propto n_{\rm e}^{0.38 \pm 0.10}$, not or only weakly with the shock velocity and shock obliquity. As an interpretation, we propose a shock-cloud interaction scenario, where locally enhanced magnetic turbulence levels have a great influence on local acceleration conditions.

description: We present the first gri-band period-luminosity (PL) and period-Wesenheit (PW) relations for the fundamental mode anomalous Cepheids. These PL and PW relations were derived from a combined sample of five anomalous Cepheids in globular cluster M92 and the Large Magellanic Cloud, both of which have distance accurate to ~1% available from literature. Our g-band PL relation is similar to the B-band PL relation as reported in previous study. We applied our PL and PW relations to anomalous Cepheids discovered in dwarf galaxy Crater II, and found a larger but consistent distance modulus than the recent measurements based on RR Lyrae. Our calibrations of gri-band PL and PW relations, even though less precise due to small number of anomalous Cepheids, will be useful for distance measurements to dwarf galaxies.
