The importance of the "traumatic attachment" in forensic psychotherapy

In this article I will be presenting theoretical and clinical therapeutic work involving the traumatic attachment. It is extremely important to understand the role it plays in human development because of how it impacts the future development of infants and children who suffer from parental abuse or neglect. It also appears to be at the origin of so-called "difficult to treat disorders" like personality disorders. So far, our knowledge of the traumatic attachment has been largely theoretical, described as it is in detail by Dr Allan Schore (2002). However, we now have access to animal research which explains its evolutionary importance, which I will share with you. This is followed by clinical therapeutic work carried out with adults using a procedure called the traumatic attachment induction procedure (TAIP), which I originally named the traumatic attachment induction test (TAIT) (Zulueta, 2006b). Our results confirm Allan Schore's theoretical model and, in the process, we discover that we can enable the healing of the dissociated self to take place, which appears to restore the individual's affected neurodevelopment and with it the possibility of living a "normal" life.

Does corporate social responsibility (CSR) have spillover effect?——Based on the binary relationship of supply chains in China

ABSTRACT With data sampled from listed suppliers and customers in China from 2010 to 2017, the presenting work investigates how corporate social responsibility (CSR) is realised from the perspective of supply chains. Results found that socially responsible customers improved CSR performance of suppliers, revealing a significant CSR spillover effect among supply chains and further suggesting customers’ bargaining power as an important realisation path. In addition, both the CSR sensitivity of customers and the CSR fulfilment ability of suppliers strengthened CSR spillover effect in supply chains. More importantly, suppliers’ CSR performance is positive feedback to customers’ need rather than a publicity stunt to cater to customers. This paper expands current understanding on corporate behavioural coordination from the perspective of supply chains and provides insights for promoting CSR fulfilment in the Chinese scenario.

Temperature elevation of aircraft tyre surface at touchdown with pre-rotations

The runway and landing gear speed difference causes non-negligible friction at touchdown, generating vital heat to raise the tyre tread temperature. The resulting material decomposition reduces tread thickness and significantly impacts flight safety and the environment. Airline operators also need to pay the cost of frequent tyre replacement. The pre-rotation strategy has been proposed to prevent high-speed friction at touchdown. Therefore, a mathematical algorithm is established on MATLAB to simulate the tyre friction and heat generation with various pre-rotation levels. The algorithm is validated by experiments, and a transient thermos-mechanical analysis on ANSYS is used as a reference. The presenting work is one of the few that uses theoretical modelling to simulate tyre heat generation. The formulas presented therein, including Laplace's equation, make the results reliable and traceable. It can be seen that the developed algorithm is capable of calculating the tyre temperature. The pre-rotation can efficiently reduce the friction strength at touchdown. However, when the pre-rotation speed is relatively low, a slight increase in maximum tyre temperature may occur, and the specific reasons for this will be in the discussion.

Combining Open Source and Commercial Tools in Digital Twin for Cities Generation

Evidently, Smart Cities are on the rise and there is an increasing need for digital twins of these complex environments and their corresponding 3D models. The creation and maintenance of such twins is a time consuming task, since cities are living evolving organisms. In this paper we are presenting work done within the Digital Twin Cities Centre (DTCC) in Sweden in the field of automated 3D city model generation. We showcase a novel method of combining open source and commercial software for creating digital twins of any urban context in a procedural way from raw input data and using Unreal Engine as a visualization front-end. We combine two different workflows, one based on the commercial software suite Feature Manipulation Engine and in parallel we utilize the open source code developed within the Centre, dubbed DTCC Builder. The assets created can be used in urban planning, multi-physics continuum mechanics simulations and for visualization and illustration on a 3D scale. By using, in a complementary way, established commercial software and state of the art open source C++ code we manage to utilize the quality of life features the first provides, while assigning the demanding tasks of comforming mesh generation to the former. The longer term goal is (nearly) real-time mesh digital twinning of any city and user interaction with the 3D assets provided.

제주지역 원도우 베이커리 종사자의 자아성취에 의한 직무환경이 종사원 만족에 미치는 영향

This study aimed at presenting work environment improvement plans for window bakery workers in Jeju by identifying the impact of work environment on worker satisfaction based on the sense of self-achievement of window bakery workers in Jeju. Research results are as follows. First, the work environment of window bakery workers in Jeju were tied into the five elements of personal environment, job environment, facility environment, welfare environment, and convenience environment. Second, upon examining the impact of work environment factors on worker satisfaction, it was found that personal environment, job environment and welfare environment had impact, and this showed that worker satisfaction can be improved by enhancing the personal environment such as interest in issues, cooperative relationship, job assistance, mutual respect, communication, and advice from bosses. Third, upon conducting regression analysis per stage for self-achievement for the influencing relationship of window bakery job environment and worker satisfaction, △R2 change increased from .444->.447 at .003 to .447->.523 at .076, and explanation power increased to 52.3% thus showing that there is an adjusting effect for self-achievement in the job environment and worker satisfaction of cooking workers at window bakeries.

How psychedelic researchers' self-admitted substance use and their association with psychedelic culture affect people's perceptions of their scientific integrity and the quality of their research.

Across three studies (total N = 952), we tested how self-admitted use of psychedelics and association with psychedelic culture affects the public's evaluation of researchers' scientific integrity and of the quality of their research. In Studies 1 and 2, we found that self-admitted substance use negatively affected people's assessment of a fictitious researcher's integrity (i.e. being unbiased, professional, and honest), but not of the quality of his research, or how much value and significance they ascribed to the findings. Study 3, however, found that an association with psychedelic culture (i.e. presenting work at a scientific conference that includes social activities stereotypically associated with psychedelic culture) negatively affected perceived research quality (e.g. less valid, true, unbiased). We further found that the latter effect was moderated by participants' personal experience with psychedelic substances: only participants without such experience evaluated research quality more negatively when it was presented in a stereotyped context.

12.H. Workshop: Opportunities for collaboration in improving vaccine acceptance among children and adolescents

Abstract In 2018, there were more than 140 000 measles deaths globally, mostly among children under the age of five. This high number of deaths by measles indicates that many vaccination programs are failing to meet their goal. In vaccination prevention strategies, cooperation between paediatricians, public health professionals and policy makers should be ensured to bundle the forces and knowledge to achieve optimal vaccination uptake. In addition, these disciplines have a role to play in raising awareness among politicians and shaping effective policy to ensure that children's health is safeguarded and promoted. In this workshop, organised by EUPHA-CAPH and EUPHA-IDC, four global public health and paediatric perspectives on vaccination strategies and policies are brought together with the goal to learn from each other's experiences and to explore and define how collaboration between the different disciplines might contribute to realizing a higher vaccination rate in and outside Europe. The first presentation (Károly Illy), chair of the Dutch Pediatric Association, will be from a paediatric perspective and focuses on different policies in different European countries regarding mandatory vaccination. In this presentation the advantages and disadvantages of these policies will be discussed along with the question how changes in vaccine legislation may influence vaccine acceptance. The second presentation (Danielle Jansen), chair of the EUPHA Child and Adolescent Public Health section, will be from a public health perspective and is about the organisation of vaccination services for underserved minority populations: what are examples of these populations, what barriers might they encounter and what seem good examples of organisation of vaccination services for minority populations? The third presentation (Barbara Rath), chair of the Vienna Vaccine Safety initiative, will be discussing the benefits of human-centered design and interdisciplinary collaboration to innovate vaccine delivery, safety surveillance, research and communication. In the final presentation (Frederic Bouder), Professor in Risk Management, will be presenting recent risk analysis work on perceptions of flu vaccine helping practitioners to articulate general lessons within a national/cultural context and in a way that will take the life-course approach into account. The presentations will be followed by a discussion in which the audience will be involved: we will elaborate on the presentations; the presenters will answer questions and discuss with the audience how we should realize a higher vaccination rate in and outside Europe. The discussion will be moderated by the chair of the EUPHA Infectious diseases control section. Key messages Collaboration between disciplines is needed to improve vaccine acceptance among children and adolescents. Acting together is crucial in raising vaccination awareness among politicians.

Lipase catalyzed modification of functionalized polyester binders

Non-toxic coating formulations, i.e. without isocyanate, formaldehyde and toxic amines are a topic in the coating industries since decades. The replacement of cross-linking agents or functional groups to non-toxic compounds reduced often the mechanical properties of the coating film or just one toxic compounds are replaced by another toxic one. In the presenting work a biocatalytic route to functionalized polyester is presented forming reactive cyclic carbonates on the resin. The resin could be cross-linked by catalytic amount of amine to form a polyester-network with promising mechanical properties in comparison to polyester-melamine networks.

Stabilisation of belite prepared from modified limestone waste sludge

Presenting work deals with the use of waste materials - waste sludge from mining and washing of limestone and waste material from acetylene gas cylinders containing mainly tobermorite and xonotlite. Both materials were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, laser granulometry and chemical analysis. After drying and milling of raw materials, they were mixed together and homogenised resulting in 3 sample series with different ratios of these materials. The mixtures were then burned at 1150°C and 1350°C and the main products formed were lime, dicalcium silicate, wollastonite, pseudowollastonite and gehlenite. To preserve hydraulically active belite, K2O as stabilizing agent was added in amount of 1 and 3 wt. %. Burned products were studied by means of X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy. Also hydration was observed.

Exhibiting Work in Germany—From Industrial Labour to (Industrial) Culture*

Abstract History museums in old industrial regions are important agents in the current debate on how we perceive work in our society. One of their key issues is how work built the region and how it changed in the context of deindustrialization. The article explores the depictions of work in the Ruhr Museum, which is the central regional history museum of the foremost region of heavy industry in Germany. It shows that with few exceptions the representations of the past in this museum include only images of standardized male industrial work, mainly in the coal and steel industries. Furthermore, it demonstrates that in the sections of the museum dedicated to the present, work has disappeared almost entirely from the representations, to be replaced with representations of culture, including industrial heritage, and lifestyles. In light of these findings the article argues that this way of presenting (and not presenting) work emphasizes the break between the past and the present. It homogenizes the historical narrative of work while making current work forms invisible and downplaying the continuing importance of the world of work. Instead, the museum tells a story of loss that requires compensation by culture.

A DISTRIBUTED ONLINE 3D-LIDAR MAPPING SYSTEM

Abstract. In this paper we are presenting work done within the joint development project ANKommEn. It deals with the development of a highly automated robotic system for fast data acquisition in civil disaster scenarios. One of the main requirements is a versatile system, hence the concept embraces a machine cluster consisting of multiple fundamentally different robotic platforms. To cover a large variety of potential deployment scenarios, neither the absolute amount of participants, nor the precise individual layout of each platform shall be restricted within the conceptual design. Thus leading to a variety of special requirements, like onboard and online data processing capabilities for each individual participant and efficient data exchange structures, allowing reliable random data exchange between individual robots. We are demonstrating the functionality and performance by means of a distributed mapping system evaluated with real world data in a challenging urban and rural indoor/outdoor scenarios.

David Stafford-Clark (1916-1999): Seeing through a celebrity psychiatrist

This article uses the mass-media career of the British psychiatrist David Stafford-Clark (1916-1999) as a case study in the exercise of cultural authority by celebrity medical professionals in post-war Britain. Stafford-Clark rose to prominence in the mass media, particularly through his presenting work on medical and related topics for BBC TV and Radio, and was in the vanguard of psychiatrists and physicians who eroded professional edicts on anonymity. At the height of his career, he traded upon his celebrity status, and consequent cultural authority, to deliver mass media sermons on a variety of social, cultural, and political topics. Stafford-Clark tried to preserve his sense of personal and intellectual integrity by clinging to a belief that his authority in the public sphere was ultimately to be vindicated by his literary, intellectual, and spiritual significance. But as his credibility dwindled, he came to distrust the cultural intermediaries, such as broadcasters and publishers, who had supported him.

Analyze the Human Movements to Help CNS to Shape the Synergy using CNMF and Pattern Recognition

The Biomedical Signals have been studied for developing human control systems to improving the quality of life. The EMG signal is one of the main types of biomedical signals. It is a convoluted signal. This signal (EMG signal) controlled by the Central nervous system (CNS). It has been a long time expected that the human central nervous system (CNS) uses flexible combinations of some muscles synergy (MS) to solve and control redundant movements. Synergy muscles activities are different in a single muscle. In the concept of Synergy muscle, the CNS does not directly control the activation of a large number of muscles. There are two main movements can help CNS to shape the synergy. The automatic body response and the voluntary actions. These activities remain not too bright. Some studies support the hypothesis that the automatic body responses could be used as a reference to familiarize the voluntary efforts. It has been validating by analyzing the human voluntary movement and the automatic mechanical motions from the muscle synergy. Based on the validation, there was a proposition that the automatic synergy motion may express some features which could support the CNS to shape the voluntary synergy motion using the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). Thus the target of the presenting work is to analyses the human movements from the muscle synergy to help CNS shapes the synergy movement by suggestion using the concatenated non-negative matrix factorization (CNMF) method and the pattern recognition method. Then compare the two results and see if that help CNS to shape the synergy movements and which method has more accuracy.

A Study of Metal@Graphene Core–Shell Spherical Nano-Geometry to Enhance the SPR Tunability: Influence of Graphene Monolayer Shell Thickness

Graphene, new generation advance material of two dimensional hexagonal lattice having extraordinary optical signatures, is used as coating material to enhance the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of core@shell metal nanospheres. In a core@shell nanosphere, we have chosen metal as a core and graphene monolayer (GML) as a shell. We have analysed optical signature of coated and non-coated nanospheres in terms of extinction efficiency (Q ext) and tunabilty of surface plasmon resonances using electrostatic model, where particle size is much smaller than the wavelength of incident light. We analysed this model over different metals (silver, gold and aluminium) core, coated with different thickness of GML (d = 0.1 to 0.5 nm). These core@shell nanospheres are embedded in refractive index media of air (n em = 1), SiO2 (n em = 1.47) and TiO2 (n em = 2.79). The Q ext has been calculated by varying both the core radii as well as the GML shell thickness. Graphene-coated metal nanosphere exhibits SPRs that have wide range tunability from 300 to 1500 nm. In the presenting work, we also analysed that extinction efficiency for metal@GML is higher in TiO2 than others. The optimum value of GML shell thickness is 0.4 nm for TiO2, the magnitude of extinction efficiency is maximum for the optimum thickness. The tunability of these plasmonic resonances is highly dependent on the core@shell material, thickness of Graphene shell and surrounding environment while non-coated metal nano-spheres do not show appropriate SPR tunability.

Modelling the Spectrum of Potency a Stationary Random Process in the Form of Spline First Order at the Random Number of Data in Instant of Time

The spectrum of potency as same the function of correlation is one of the most important characteristic of the second process random order. The spectrum of potency allows to judge about, that structure of process gives opportunity to take estimation of spectrum composition of useful signals and hindrances, allows to produce synthesis (reconstruction) the signals and to build filters and to obtain the estimates filtration. The purpose of this presenting work is modeling of process random stationary potency spectrum by random dates number in measurement moments. Using by probability theory methods and mathematical statistics was derived unbiased estimator of the potency spectrum in the form of spline first order, and were researched statistic characteristics estimation.

Can we sue the web?

Maughan highlights the Conference: Theorizing the Web held on Apr 17-18 at the International Center of Photography in New York City NY. Now in its fifth year, the event is widely regarded as the coolest kid on an already crowded block. Its participants are dressed more for a music festival than an academic conference. They are sociologists who code, coders who do social theory, hackers who make art and artists who hack. The hipness of Theorizing the Web comes not just from the youthfulness of its participants but also from the newness of their work. Many of the delegates were presenting work in progress, or the results of as-yet-unfinished doctorate theses.
